Filmfare Awards 2021: Saif Ali Khan Thanks Ajay Devgn, Om Raut On Winning Award For Best Actor In A Supporting Role

Saif Ali Khan’s 2020 was pretty great on the work front, keeping the pandemic aside. He began his year with Om Raut’s super hit Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior and went on to rule hearts with Jawaani Jaaneman. The actor also played a special cameo in Sushant Singh Rajput’s last film Dil Bechara. Well 2021 is also off to a pretty amazing start. The actor won hearts with his performance in Tandav and also welcomed his second child with wife Kareena. Well, Saif has now bagged the Filmfare Award For Best Actor In A Supporting Role for Tanhaji.

In a chat with Pinkvilla, Saif expressed gratitude and shared, “I want to thank Ajay Devgn and Kumar Mangat ji. This is the second time they have given one of my career's best roles and they are generous and confident producers.” He went on to add, “The main credit for my work goes without doubt to Om Raut and I’m lucky to be working with him. He wrote, pushed and guided me into a performance I am really proud of. I thank him from the bottom of my heart. I also must thank my action choreographer Ramzan and his two assistants Mike and Sven who took action to a new high in this film. Thank you to all well wishers. Please be safe and well.”

Much to our delight, the actor has joined hands once again with Raut for his next much awaited project Adipurush. Also starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Sunny Singh, the period drama will feature Saif as Lankesh Ravan. Other than Adipurush, Saif also has horror comedy Bhoot Police and crime comedy Bunty Aur Babli 2 in the pipeline.

Many congratulations to Saif, the versatile performer.
