Actor Saif Ali Khan might have turned producer in 2009 with Illuminati Films and co-produced many films like Love Aaj Kal, Agent Vinod and Cocktail, but the actor is the first to admit that actors don't make the perfect producers as they tend to 'get carried away'.
In a recent interview, when talking about Cocktail, which releases today, Saif agreed that actors don't make great producers because actors are in danger of becoming self-indulgent. He admitted that when actors are given a lot of money to make the kind of films they want, they tend to get carried away and this is where the actual producer has to step in as he is the voice of reason and tends to make the movie as commercial as possible as he knows the best decisions to take as far as actors and directors are concerned.
Saif Ali Khan, who is seen playing a Casanova type character in Cocktail, will be seen playing a Russian mobster in his next production Go Goa Gone.
