Saif will make a good cop on screen: Kareena

Kareena Kapoor, who will be next seen opposite Ajay Devgn in Singham Returns feels her actor-husband Saif Ali Khan will be a better cop on screen.

"I think Saif will be the best cop (on screen). I think he will be better than Ajay," Kareena told reporters in Mumbai at the trailer launch of Singham Returns.
