In an interview with the Times of India, Saif Ali Khan said, “With my daughter, I tried to crack a mildly competitive joke. I’m saying I kind of liked our more but obviously this is a completely different movie. And I don’t think it’s perhaps right to compare but, of course, the producers have chosen the same name and I am quite possessive over our film. I don’t want to come across the wrong way because of course what I said was a joke. A little bit of teasing is good.”
Further talking about the movie, Love Aaj Kal finding relevance in every generation as it revolves around the ever-evolving language of love, Saif added further, “I do understand that the idea behind the film is that when the minute the language of love kind of changes, one can make this film with every generation. So, I’m sure it’s a completely different film from ours. And all the best guys, just a joke.” Saif also talked about the much-talked-about chemistry between his daughter, Sara and her rumoured beau, Kartik Aaryan in the movie and said that it was one of the major draws of the movie and added, “I think it is very interesting. Both of them are tremendously popular actors. I’m sure you know people are going to flock to see the movie.” (Suggested Read: Aayush Sharma Shares A 'Happy Faces' Picture Of Arpita Khan Cuddling Her Munchkins Ahil And Ayat)
