New Delhi: Saif Ali Khan's present day image of a cool and suave macho man started to develop after Sriram Raghavan's Ek Hasina Thi's success. The duo is again back with Agent Vinod which seems to be India's answer to Hollywood spy thrillers.
The film stars Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Prem Chopra, Mallika Haydon and Shahbaz Khan in pivotal roles.
Agent Vinod has been shot at exotic locations and appears to have all the basic ingredients of a spy thriller.
Rohit Vats of IBNLive is inside the theatre on the first day to catch the first show. He is live tweeting the experience.
