After playing a rustic villain in "Omkara", Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan is now playing a Sikh in his forthcoming film "Love Aaj Kal" and took Punjabi classes to get the right accent for the role.

"Saif plays a Punjabi in 'Love Aaj Kal'. But he didn't have the accent of a Sikh guy. So Saif mastered it by taking training for Punjabi diction. Saif got himself a tutor to train him to speak the language, " a source said.

In "Love Aaj Kal" Saif has teamed up with Deepika Padukone. It is Saif's debut production and is directed by Imtiaz Ali of "Jab We Met" fame.
