Saif Ali Khan Recalls Vishal Bhardwaj's Request for Naked Scene in Omkara
As Omkara marks 20 years, Saif Ali Khan recalled director Vishal Bhardwaj's suggestion to perform a key mirror scene naked. Saif, conscious of the large set crowd, agreed only if Bhardwaj directed naked, which was declined. Reflecting now, Saif feels the silhouette shot could have been impactful. The scene was reworked last minute from a dialogue-heavy sequence to a silent mirror-breaking moment captured in one take, highlighting creative changes during filming.
