I found his shades very interesting. When he came for the shoot, he didn't have any outfits because he was travelling and it was a last-minute plan. So we did some bare-body shots.

We found this one the most interesting. It's very unlike a calendar shot, very unlike Saif. It's just a mood shot. With his green glasses, I thought some kind of a green background would work. But a plain green background was looking flat. The foliage added perspective.

I've been working with Saif since 1994. I've shot with him with various hairstyles -- from his longish hair to his shorter hair, from his Hamesha days to now. His looks have drastically changed. He used to be quite podgy.

I used to do a lot of work with Pooja Bhatt before. In fact, people got to know about my work thanks to her. Pooja and Saif were doing a lot of movies then. When I was to shoot him for the first time, I walked into the room and he told me, 'Please make me the male Pooja Bhatt of your life.' I found that quite amusing.

Saif is very intelligent. He has great knowledge because he travels, is very well read. He can talk about anything from music to watches, to places, to films, gizmos.
