Saif Ali Khan’s triple avatar in 'Humshakals'

Sajid Khan is getting reinforcement from Hollywood to make sure that Saif Ali Khan's triple avatar in his next, 'Humshakals', is a glitch-free affair.

The director has just returned from the film's London schedule and is currently shooting portions in a city studio. A central scene in the film will see Saif in three avatars and the film's producer, Vashu Bhagnani, has hired a VFX team from Los Angeles for the same.

A source close to the film starring Saif, Bipasha Basu and Riteish Deshmukh told TOI, "It is a difficult sequence and needs a lot of technical support. And Vashu told Sajid to get the best team, irrespective of the cost. Sajid has already chalked out the scenes and is very excited to the shoot."

But the shooting schedule and locations are being kept strictly under wraps. Vashu and Sajid are constantly in touch to ensure "that everything is planned to the smallest detail before Saif starts shooting for this sequence," the source added.

When contacted, Bhagnani confirmed the news and said, "Yes, we have hired a VFX team from LA and they are coming to Mumbai next month. I can't divulge other details."
