The directorial debut of Delhi Belly writer Akshat Verma, this thrilling dark comedy is the story of six characters from different worlds, urban, ambitious Mumbai and its dark, neglected underbelly, a raucous tale about life, death, karma, that barrels through one monsoon night. Written specifically with Saif in mind, it took over two years before the script finally got to the actor. After he read it though, he said yes in five minutes.
Says Saif Ali Khan - `Kaalakaandi is a film I'm so happy to be a part of! It's a cross section of Mumbai with underworld goons, doomed bankers and idealistic lovers all mixed together in this karmic tale about love , crime and living a lifetime in one night!! Akshat has written and directed this unique movie ... and he is probably the only voice who tells it exactly like it actually is ... Mumbai is a crazy, beautiful city and he is captured it perfectly in this very fun and very moving film!"
