In a savvy bit of somewhat premature cross promotion, Saif Ali Khan was arrested last night after a party during which he punched an NRI (non-resident Indian) business man square in the face. He issued the following statement, in which he insists he was defending the honor of himself and his guests:
"There was an ugly incident last night where my friend and the ladies with us were abused and I was assaulted. I was hit and I was only defending myself."Who the fuck knows what really happened, though this is reminiscent of the case a few weeks ago following the Filmfare awards in which superstar Shah Rukh Khan was caught slapping (really SRK?) the shit out of a journalist who'd tweeted mean things about Ra.One. Whether the tweets and the slap fight were related remains a mystery.
In Saif Ali Khan's case, he just kind of seems like a hot head in general, so I don't doubt he felt threatened. Although, if I were going to lose my shit, I'd probably wait until a little bit closer to the release date of my film, no press is bad press after all...
Enjoy the second trailer for Agent Vinod.
