Saif Ali Khan has been in the Hindi film industry for close to three decades now, and this long journey is marked with some of his great and not-so-great performances. The young Nawab, in his early twenties, essaying roles that were flamboyant and capricious, quickly became a youth icon who was a mix of the boy next door and a casanova.

Cut to 2019, and with the teaser for his upcoming film Jawaani Jaanemann hitting the screens, we can once again catch a glimpse of the 'fuckboi' Saif, the makers thought his audience was missing.

The Jawaani Jaanemann teaser isn't disappointing. Because right after the first 10 seconds it enters a familiar territory which is easily identifiable for anyone who has watched some of Saif's box office hits. He is the same flirtatious vagabond Vicky from Yeh Dillagi, the hilarious wannabe boyfriend Sameer from Dil Chahta Hai before he meets Pooja, the unapologetic womanizer from Hum Tum and Salaam Namaste and the obnoxiously pathetic playboy Gautam from Cocktail.

Only, this time he is no 'boy' next door but instead will be seen playing the role of a 40-year-old father who, going by the teaser, still hasn't quite figured out how to keep his pants on when his daughter is not looking.

While not much has been revealed about the film's plot, reportedly the film will trace the relation between Saif's character and his on-screen daughter set to be played by debutante Alaia Furniturewala. If you haven't seen the teaser yet, check it out here:
