Rehan Roy: A Quirky Hero with a Heart

Saif describes his character as someone who challenges the system. “Rehan is a thief with swag, an adventurer, and a family man at heart. He breaks the rules, cons people, but always with kindness. He’s the quintessential Hindi film hero—flawed, yet lovable,” Saif shares.
