Saif Ali Khan returned for the sequel to the hit heist film. The film revolved around Ranvir befriending a billionaire gangster, Armaan, in Turkey. However, he soon turns on him and plots revenge when he learns that his girlfriend was responsible for the death of his wife

Go Goa Gone (2013) 

A film that is said to have been a gamechanger was also produced by Saif Ali Khan. The zombie action comedy film saw Saif in a completely different look as he played a zombie hunter. The film directed by Raj and DK also stars Kunal Kemmu, Vir Das, and Anand Tiwari

Humshakals (2014) 

This multi-starrer comedy film was directed by Sajid Khan but crashed at the box office 

Considered as one of the worst films of Hindi cinema, it should have been an easily forgettable film. However, the lead actors-Saif, Riteish Deshmukh, and Ram Kapoor cross-dressing in the film is not one that will be erased from our collective memories anytime soon

Saif joined hands with Raj and DK once again after Go Goa Gone and also produced the film. The romantic comedy has a moderate rating of 5.3 on IMDb

There, she finds herself enamoured by Jemadar Malik, a soldier. Despite a stellar cast and team, the film failed to perform at the box office

Chef (2017) 

Though the film had good music, it fell flat in writing. The film directed by Raja Krishna Menon saw some good performances by Saif Ali Khan, who plays a chef.
