Saif Ali Khan Recalls Vishal Bhardwaj's Nude Scene Suggestion for Omkara Mirror Sequence
As Omkara marks 20 years, Saif Ali Khan recalled director Vishal Bhardwaj's suggestion to film a key mirror scene naked. Saif initially declined due to the large crew but joked he would do it if Bhardwaj also directed naked. Looking back, he feels the silhouette shot could have enhanced the scene. Bhardwaj ultimately replaced the dialogue with a silent mirror-smashing sequence, creating one of the film's most iconic moments.
