Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan’s new film Kaalakaandi had been locked for release on September 8. He says the movie is fun, yet moving.

The film’s release date was announced by Cinestaan Film Company.

Directed by debutant Akshat Verma, writer of the cult film Delhi Belly, the dark comedy is the story of six characters from different worlds — urban, ambitious Mumbai and its dark, neglected underbelly.

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,” Khan said.

According to a source the script was written specifically with Saif in mind. It took more than two years before the script finally got to the actor.

The film also features Deepak Dobriyal, Vijay Raz, Kunal Roy Kapoor, Sobhita Dhulipala, Akshay Oberoi, Isha Talwar, Shenaz Treasury, Shivam Patil, Amyra Dastur and Neil Bhoopalam.
