Actor Saif Ali Khan has revealed that his son Taimur Ali Khan chased people ‘violently’ with fake swords after the release of his film Tanhaji.

Saif replied, “No, I have no idea what we’re doing. Just hoping for the best.” He then continued, “I keep saying, ‘This is the good guy, this is the role’ but he’s like ‘I want to be the bad guy and I want to rob the bank and I want to steal everyone’s money’.”

When Rani said, “He’s going in another direction”, Saif replied, “It’s a thought that but ya.” He also said, “I just hand over to his mother (Kareena Kapoor) and say ‘Please sort this out, please sort this out’.”
