Says a source, " Once, When Saif ali khan was reading Clint's interviews, Clint mentioned that he was planning to start a production house. Thats when Clints friend told him " Mal Paso ", which means a bad step in Spanish.
Cint thought a lot about it and one day he woke up and decided to be a producer.Later, he launced Mal Paso Production.
When saif read this, he was quite inspired by it. He was shooting outdoors and the next thing u know, in the middle of the night he called up Dinesh Vijan and told him about the whole idea of launching a production house. Saif had worked with Dinesh during his movie Being Cyrus and thats when they had become quite good friends."
Why Saif ali khan thought of the name Illuminati films.
A source close to Saif says, " Saif ali khan is fond of reading Dan Brown's novels. Once when he was reading Angels and Demons by Dan Brown, he came across the word Illuminati which means "from darkness to light".
And the very next monent he called up Dinesh and said lets call our company Illuminati films because I want to make enlightining cinema. Thats when both said to each other Mal Paso- Mal Paso", laughs the source.
