Saif Ali Khan on 'Sacred Games' nomination: 

"It's great (moment), I mean the idea was to do something honest on a platform that is kind of international. Something like 'Narcos' that is a Netflix original and they encourage you to tell your story the way you do but in an international way to an international audience. "Hence I feel in a way it is well deserved to have been nominated at an international platform. Full credit to the team and the production and of course the directors and the lovely actors," Saif, who has won a lot of appreciation for his performance as Sartaj Singh, told PTI.
