Saif Ali Khan got brutally trolled for his appearance in Adipurush. But, now, reports reveal that Saif Ali Khan wants to be a part of Mahabharata as well.

When asked about his ideal role in films during an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Saif Ali Khan said. "I don¡¯t think like that. I just think of what I am offered. I don¡¯t really have a dream subject. I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any point in thinking like that. But what I would like to do is act in Mahabharata, if someone makes it like Lord of the Rings."

The actor further revealed that they have been discussing that with actor-producer Ajay Devgn since Kachche Dhaage.

"In our generation, it¡¯s the dream subject. We¡¯ll get the Bombay film industry with the South if that¡¯s possible. Karana is more appealing to me, there are a lot of great characters," the Vikram Vedha actor said.

Saif Ali Khan's latest film Vikram Vedha is gaining momentum at the box office after a slow start since September 30. Saif plays Vikram in the film while Hrithik Roshan plays Vedha, the villain.
