Writers do deserve respect, but finally director is the boss – Saif Ali Khan.

Saif Ali Khan is all set to do his second digital web series 'Tandav'a political thriller series. It is  directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and penned by Article 15 co-writer Gaurav Solanki.

It was recently reported that filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar who is venturing into the web world with political drama Tandav starring Saif Ali Khan reportedly kept writer Gaurav Solanki off set. When Saif was asked about the incident, he backed the director stating that it’s not a writer’s place to be on set and direct.

Saif believes that there is no denying the fact that the writers also deserved dignity and respect. But at the end of the day it's the director who has the last word on the set.

Saif also ensured to say that no doubt writers should be treated with respect and dignity. He said that they deserve more praise, money, and love since they create everything.
Good writers like Gaurav Solanki are a gem.

He asserted that neither he or Gaurav can tell a director what to do since the director is the boss on set. If even Ali says to walk into the room backwards, one has to do it.  Unless Gaurav thinks the material has been tampered with, this shouldn’t be a conversation.

'Tandav', with an ensemble cast, will have 11-12 primary characters with three-four parallel tracks running across eight episodes. It will be premiered on Amazon Prime video.
