Time and technology have not only changed the techniques of filmmaking but have also made giving the "first take" a more comfortable affair for actor Saif Ali Khan, who will next year clock 25 years in the industry -- since his 1993 debut with the film "Parampara".
Talking about the evolution that has come about due to technology, the National Award-winning Saif told IANS in an interview here: "India is like a different country now. I have witnessed some huge changes in terms of filmmaking techniques (in the last couple of decades). Digital (technology) has changed a lot of things. Things are done a lot faster now... In a way, that's good.
"I have stopped worrying about my first take though, because it's so easy to do one more now. Of course, I try and get it right always, but earlier I think there was a lot more attention on getting it right on the first attempt itself.
"As editing and dubbing have become simpler, I worry less now as it can protect me. Today's acting style has changed to more international and natural. For me, it's more fun to do acting now."
Saif, son of late cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and veteran actress Sharmila Tagore, was in Delhi to promote his forthcoming entertainer "Chef". Directed by Raja Krishna Menon, it's an Indian adaptation of the 2014 American film of the same name by Jon Favreau and is slated for release on Friday.
