Saif Ali Khan's Kaalakaandi: Trivia
One of the fascinating facts of this movie is that actress Shenaaz Treasurywala was one of the cast members who worked in this recognized Hindi film six years after her film, Delhi Belly. This is also the first film where actors Saif Ali Khan, Kunal Roy Kapoor and Vijay Raaz worked together. Another fun fact is how the film was supposed to release in 2016 but was unfortunately released in 2017 due to its inappropriate language and editing fixes.
This film was the debut of director Akshat Verma who also happened to be the writer and associate director of the film, Delhi Belly in 2011. Kaalakaandi's release date was announced as 12 Jan 2018 and news about Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati releasing on the same date was circulating at the time. Later, actor Saif Ali Khan spoke of shifting the date of his film in order to avoid the clash of his film with Bhansali's Padmavati. The distributors of Kaalakaandi were in a double mind about investing their money in the film due to Saif Ali Khan's poor run at the box office since the year 2013. Khan's films like Bullet Raja, Happy Ending, Humshakals Phantom, Rangoon, and Chef had all performed poorly at the box-office.
