In his upcoming film Haiwaan, the actor plays a visually impaired character, relying on body language and movement rather than dialogue. For Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, he bulked up to play the antagonist Udaybhan Singh Rathore. In Omkara, he shaved his head to play Langda Tyagi, a scheming character that became a career highlight. For Go Goa Gone, he bleached his hair blonde to portray the eccentric Boris. Each transformation demanded a different approach to performance, from physical training to altering appearance. ## Coverage - english.mathrubhumi.com Tags: Bollywood, Haiwaan, Omkara, Saif Ali Khan, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/saif-ali-khans-4-role-transformations-from-blind-man-to-bulked-up-warrior/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
