Bollywood doesn't need to impress foreigners: Saif Ali Khan

As an actor Saif Ali Khan is choosing his roles responsibly and wants to prove critics wrong. As a filmmaker he feels Bollywood is "self-sufficient" and doesn't need to impress the foreign audience.
The population of Indians is so massive worldwide as well as in India that we don't need to cater to foreigners. We are self-sufficient," Saif, 40, told IANS in an exclusive interview. He echoed his mother, veteran actress Sharmila Tagore who had recently questioned Indian actors' clamour for Hollywood.

Saif, who was in the capital to shoot the climax scenes of his second home production "Agent Vinod", being directed by Sriram Raghavan, is taking special care to make the spy thriller look different from popular international film series "James Bond".

Wearing track pants, a green t-shirt, shades, sporting ruffled hair and looking relaxed, the actor shared his thoughts on "Agent Vinod" and his aspirations as he completes two decades in the film industry in 2012.
