Saif Ali Khan and Alaya F's Jawaani Jaaneman To Release on February 7, 2020, a Week Before Sara Ali Khan's Love Aaj Kal Sequel
Saif Ali Khan and Alaya's movie was earlier slated to hit the screens on November 29 but has now been postponed to February 7, 2020.
Saif Ali Khan and daughter Sara Ali Khan would be fighting a box office battle had Jawaani Jaaneman release a week later on February 14. However, the clash was averted when the makers of Saif's next decided to fix February 7 as their film's release date. Though the release is still a week away, Sara's film may face some stiff competition from her 'abba's' release if it performs exceptionally well at the ticket window. But that's a discussion for some other day. Today, let's talk about Jawaani Jaaneman, which will see Pooja Bedi's daughter, Alaya marking her Bollywood debut.

Speaking about the debutante, Saif in his earlier interaction with Mid-Day had revealed that she's the perfect casting for his next movie. “She has all the qualities we were looking for in the young lead, the charm and energy to take the film to the level that it needs. We are lucky to have found our perfect cast and I’m looking forward to working with Alaia," he had said. The movie revolves around a father-daughter relationship where the actor plays someone in his 40s but refuses to grow up despite having a teenage daughter.

When asked why he didn't approach his own daughter, Sara, for the lead, the Tanhaji actor said, "I would have loved to have Sara in the film, but that would have meant her choosing this project over everything else she is doing as we wanted it to be the first film of the person we would cast. Sara’s career trajectory is in a good place and in a way, I am happy it’s separate from mine at the moment.” Well, so what if she wasn't able to share the screen space with him? She's definitely sharing the month of their releases now.
