Mumbai: Actor Saif Ali Khan made quite a revelation about his upcoming film Jawaani Jaaneman on Tuesday.

He said that the forthcoming rom-com is about accepting age and responsibilities as a father.

"This story is about a man accepting his age, his responsibilities and his journey in life. I think the father is one of the most important people in our lives. A lot of people mess up being a father and create children that need therapy, that need friendship and that need all kinds of things to fix their problems because they are not ready to be responsible fathers," he said.

Interacting with the media at the song launch event of Gallan Kardi, Saif told: "In the film, my character is not ready. He thinks that a family is not cool, and the solo life is the way to go."

Alongside Saif, his co-actor and Pooja Bedi's daughter Alaya F., film's director Nitin Kakkar, singer Jazzy B and choreographer Muddassar Khan were also present at the song launch event.

In the film, the Cocktail star will be seen essaying the role of a 40-year-old man. The film traces his relationship with his teenage daughter played by Alaya.

Saif's character in the flick declares that a man is like a tiger before marriage who becomes a 'chomu' post marriage.

Speaking about it, he explained: "My character believes that family makes a man a 'chomu'. He means that after marriage, we (men) become slaves of our wives and children and that changes the vibe. So, my character celebrates 'jawaani' (youth). 'Jawaani' is his 'Jaaneman' (darling). He is a bachelor and he is scared of the concept of family."

The actor also praised his co-actor Tabu, who plays a pivotal role in the film, saying that she is one of the best actors in the country.

The Nitin Kakkar directorial Jawaani Jaaneman is set to release on January 31, 2020.
