For the latest edition of Variety India Spotlight, Saif Ali Khan sits down for a wide-ranging conversation on the success of “Kartavya,” his upcoming film “Haiwaan” with Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar and the lessons he’s learned across more than three decades in the industry.

In the exclusive interview, Khan discusses playing a blind, samurai-inspired action hero in Priyadarshan’s “Haiwaan,” the advice from Shah Rukh Khan on “Kal Ho Naa Ho” that changed his approach to acting and why he believes actors must avoid the trap of vanity.

He also reflects on the making of “Dil Chahta Hai” and “Omkara,” working with Vishal Bhardwaj, Farhan Akhtar and Abbas-Mustan, the success of “Sacred Games” and the long journey that finally brought “Kartavya” to audiences through Netflix.

For the latest edition of Spotlight, Bhagyashree sits down with Variety India to discuss her return to mainstream cinema with “Raja Shivaji,” the four-hour narration from Riteish Deshmukh that won her over, and the conviction that reminded her of Sooraj Barjatya pitching “Maine Pyar Kiya” nearly four decades ago.

The actor also reflects on stepping away from films at the height of her success, working with Salman Khan, lessons from Yash Chopra and Manmohan Desai, and the emotional scene in “Raja Shivaji” that left an entire set speechless.

Dolph Lundgren reflects on being in “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe” and watching Nicholas Galitzine step into the He-Man role decades later: “It became kind of emotional.”

The original He-Man also recalls the “daunting task” of taking on a character that’s lived on for 40 years and why today’s green screens beat flying through Whittier at 40 mph in a costume “the size of a stamp.”
