Talking about his role in the political drama, he said that Dilli is based on politics and is set on a large scale. He also revealed that the show is set within the periphery of Indian politics and is along the lines of the American thriller series, House Of Cards. Elaborating about the plot of the Ali Abbas Zafar directorial, the National Award-winning actor stated that it will showcase various fractions like UP cops and Dalit politics and the connection between them.
Spilling the beans about his character in Dilli, Saif Ali Khan drew a comparison of his character to Chanakya. He revealed that in the guise of a youth leader, his character aspires to become the Prime Minister of the country. Meanwhile, Dilli is going to be different from other Ali Abbas Zafar’s movies as it is a political drama. The 10-episode web-series marks the Bharat director’s digital debut.
