Saif Ali Khan is not part of his daughter Sara Ali Khan's upcoming film Aaj Kal, sequel of his 2009 hit film Love Aaj Kal.

In an interview with an entertainment website, Saif confirmed the same. He said, "I'd honestly want to play every role provided if it's interesting enough and if the time permitted it. Though Imtiaz was very kind to offer me a part in the sequel of Love Aaj Kal, I haven't signed the film contrary to the rumours. It's a lovely movie and I'm very excited in particular that Sara is working with Imtiaz Ali. I wish both the young stars, Sara and Kartik, the best."

It was earlier reported that Saif will play the role of Sara Ali Khan's on screen father in the film. Then reports started surfacing that he will play Kartik Aaryan's father in the film.

Saif's current statement has put a hold on all such rumours.

Though Saif won't be starring with Sara in this film, he is very proud of Sara's achievement and was all praises for his daughter after he watched her debut film Kedarnath.

In an interview with an entertainment website, the actor said, "I'm so happy for her. This was her choice all the way. She chose this and made it happen. And I thought she was brilliant. A thinking actress who is expressive and inventive in every shot. I see a fantastic future for her."

The actor currently has four films lined up, these include Ajay Devgn's Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, Pawan Kriplani's horror Bhooth Police, Navdeep Singh's revenge drama Hunter and Jawaani Jaaneman helmed by Nitin Kakkar.
