| Filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj has made a successful Hindi adaptation of Shakespeare’s ‘MacBeth’ in Maqbool. Now, the talented director is all set to adapt ‘Othello’ as well into a movie. Saif himself would be giving a new look to his character in Bhardwaj’s movie. Firstly, he will sport a baldhead. Then, he is thinking of a facial scar and earrings to make his character look authentic. |

| In
the film, the story of Othello is set in Indian
milieu. Saif plays the character of Iago. But his
Iago is unlike anyone we can expect.
Omkara is a film about exploring relationships between people, blind devotion, staunch loyalty, greed, power, jealousy and the ultimate emotion of destruction that is often witnessed with blind passion. It is Vishal’s second film that has been adapted from Shakespeare’s works.
