Directed by  Nitin Kakkar , Jawaani Jaaneman follows a middle-aged man Jasswinder ‘Jazz’ Kapoor (Khan) who has not come to terms with his age and shirks at the mention of responsibility. His life takes a dramatic turn when  Alaya F's  character Tia finds him in an alley, and tells him there is a possibility he is her father. Tabu, Kumud Mishra, Kubra Sait, and Farida Jalal are also part of the cast. In an interview with Firstpost, Kakkar spoke about casting Khan in this role, “When Saif’s name was suggested, I was like who better than him. With the age right now where Saif is, and the kind of role it was, he brings a lot of class. Saif doesn’t make humour cheap. He makes everything look very classy.” Jawaani Jaaneman marks the Bollywood debut Alaya, who is actress Pooja Bedi’s daughter. A  Hindustan Times report says that she has now landed a role in Dharma Productions’ Student of the Year 3 and the film will start shooting in Bangkok this summer.
