Expect the unexpected when it comes to Saif Ali Khan and his movie choices. The actor has always believed in his own conscience and refused to sign projects that don't inspire the actor within him. No wonder he has projects like Ek Haseena Thi, Kaalakaandi registered under his name. While one may like to tag them as slightly off-beat, we think they are hatke. And his next release, Laal Kaptaan, fortunately, fall under the same category.
After the makers unveiled his brooding look from Laal Kaptaan on his birthday, they decided to release its trailer without much fanfare. While his menacing avatar steals the show, we are excited to read more on its storyline. Going by its trailer, it's quite safe to draw a conclusion that it is a period saga based during the British regime in India. It revolves around vengeance and not necessarily a fight for freedom. The premise looks promising and we can't wait for it to hit the screens on October 18, 2019. Laal Kaptaan Teaser: Saif Ali Khan as Naga Sadhu Looks Determined and Hungry for Revenge (Watch Video).

The movie was earlier titled Hunter and was changed to Laal Kaptaan later on. When Saif was asked to reveal deets about the same project, he said, "It’s my most ambitious project till date. I don’t think I have been part of a film that has been made on this scale. It’s about a fight between two brothers and my character, who’s almost like an animal, fights for his rights." Interesting, eh? Considering the title has part one in it, we wonder if the work on its sequel is already in the pipeline.
