NH 10 helmer Navdeep Singh has directed the movie and Rai said he has full faith in the story. “Laal Kaptaan is that kind of film that is definitely going to generate a genre and narrative style of its own,” he added. Describing his role in the movie, Saif had said, “My character is a failed Naga sadhu, who has strong notions of revenge… I even got my ears pierced for the role, which I was worried about initially. My hair has grown a lot. It bothered me throughout summer, when I was shooting in Rajasthan’s sweltering heat.” “Saif is a gifted actor and this script allows him to showcase his talent like never before. Laal Kaptaan boasts of a larger-than-life landscape, dramatic characters and a gripping story that makes it a first of its kind,” Sunil Lulla, Managing Director, Eros International said in a statement.
