Pavan Malhotra to work with Saeed Mirza after 19 years : Bollywood News

They made a momentous place in history when they did Salim Langde Pe Mat Ro in 1989 about the Muslim identity in Mumbai. Now, Pavan Malhotra, back in the reckoning with a bang with his much-acclaimed performances in Black Friday, Jab We Met, My Name is Anthony Gonsalves and Vishal Bhardwaj's short-film on AIDS, Blood Brothers, is all set to play a part in Saeed Mirza's new directorial project, Savdhaan Meri Jaan, earlier called Mahanagar. Says the super-gifted Pavan, "It's a film called Savdhaan Meri Jaan. It's a good role. I'd have happily done anything in Saeed Mirza's cinema unless he was going out-and-out commercial in which case, I'd have asked for the script. But this is very much a Saeed Mirza kind of film. It's how he makes his films. I play a Police Officer. I'm very happy he's directing a film after so long, Saeed was spending most of his time in Goa writing a book. In a way we're both out of exile."
