‘Cartavia’ actor Saif Ali Khan talks about his role
According to ANI, Saif talked about the film and said, “Pawan is a man who is constantly negotiating with himself, between what he believes is right, what is expected of him, and what he must protect.
What attracted me to Cartavia is that it doesn’t offer easy answers; It puts you in uncomfortable places and forces you to question what you’ll do when every choice comes with a personal cost. Working with Pulkit and the entire crew made this journey even more compelling and exciting.
It was especially exciting to collaborate with Red Chillies Entertainment for the first time on a multi-layered project like Kartavya.
