Let’s not laugh at the incredibly cheesy and unoriginal title, rather let’s laugh at anyone that wants a 5′6 James Bond with a nasal voice.

To the news!

Saif Ali Khan is set to play the role of Agent Vinod, fulfilling a childhood fantasy. Saif was apparently a big fan of the low-budget espionage thriller Agent Vinod in 1977 featuring Mahendra Sandhu as the spy who loved girls, gadgets and stunts. The upcoming film is set to be directed by Sriram Raghavan.

Says Sriram,

“Though our Agent Vinod will have nothing to do with the old Rajshri film of that name it would be exploring the same espionage territory, albeit in an entirely new idiom. Saif and I had been brainstorming over this project for a long time and yes, now it’s on”

You know… I appreciate Saif as an actor… but I think this just might be a bridge too far. The concept of a secret agent would be dead to me if he had to stand on a box to make out with his girlfriend.

Sure I do that… but whatever man. My girlfriend is like 5′11. She has great legs. Lovely eyes too. And the softest lips. Sure you “realists” might say a poster doesn’t count as a girlfriend! But it’s a girl isn’t it? I even put jelly lips on her face! Counter that with your so-called logic!

Note: What kind of a name is Agent Vinod anyway? It sounds like something the gardeners son calls himself before I beat him up.
