Siddharth Anand to reunite with ‘first actor’ Saif Ali Khan for new project

Fighter (2024) and Pathaan (2023) director Siddharth Anand took to Instagram on Monday to post a photo with Saif Ali Khan and said that he is back on set with his "first hero".

The director had made his directorial debut in 2005's Salaam Namaste, starring Saif and Preity Zinta.

"Back on set with my first hero! How can nothing change! Haha! Love you Saif!" Siddharth captioned a couple of pictures from Budapest, Hungary.

It is unclear whether they are reteaming for a film or series and whether Siddharth is attached to the project as a director or producer.

The duo last worked together in the 2007 film Ta Ra Rum Pum.

Before his directorial debut, Siddharth co-wrote the screenplay with filmmaker Kunal Kohli for the latter's 2004 film Hum Tum, which earned Saif a best actor National Award.

Saif's last big screen appearance was 2023's Adipurush and Siddharth released his latest directorial venture Fighter earlier this year.
