Dussehra: Laal Kaptaan Saif Ali Khan will send shivers down your spine

Dussehra celebrates the victory of good over evil. The burning of the Raavan effigy is one of the highlights of the festival. While Raavan from the Ramayana has symbolised evil for ages now, on screen, the makers of Laal Kaptaan want to portray Saif Ali Khan’s character as a symbol of evil. The team shared a brand new poster of Saif Ali Khan, with ten heads, like Raavan, on the occasion of Dussehra to show that this menacing assassin is the epitome of the brutal.

Laal Kaptaan’s Dussehra 

Aanand L Rai’s Colour Yellow Productions, one of the banners associated with the movie, shared the poster of Saif’s character from the movie. His look as an assassin, dressed as a Sadhu, with the tilak on his forehead, long beard and long hair, kohl on his eyes and the red forehead strap, had already been making headlines. But this time, there’s not one, but 10 heads in all, each of which convey a different emotion, right from intense to angry. The makers captioned the post,  “Har राम ka apna रावण Har राम ka apna Dussehra।” (Every Ram has his own Raavan, and every Ram has his own Dussehra)”. Saif’s character is seen saying the same in another video.

With Saif sending shivers down the spine with his intense look and picturisation in Laal Kaptaan, there could not have been a better way to express his wicked side. 

This is not the first time that Saif has played an evil character. In fact, his wicked characters often fetch him the most praises, be it Vishal Bhardwaj’s Omkara or Sriram Raghavan’s Ek Hasina Thi .
