Saif who is basking in the glory of the success Sacred Games has enjoyed and the acting chops put on display by him are so appreciated.

But one question that has had curious for so long is that. Why is Saif seen sporting a thick beard these days? Is that for some fiercely guarded part for the same series? Further analysis on that helped us realised that 's not the case. This look is for Saif's forthcoming movie tentatively titled Hunter. Saif it is reported playing a naga sadhu in this movie.

So is he likely to go full monty for the same?  "I wear clothes even though I shouldn't be because Naga means 'nanga'. My character is a failed Naga sadhu, who has strong notions of revenge. The film is a drama set in Rajasthan," said Saif in his conversation with Times Of India.

Saif explained how he had to undergo a physical transformation to get into the character. "I even got my ears pierced for the role, which I was worried about initially. My hair has grown a lot.
