Khan, 42, who is essaying the role of a rural gangster based in Uttar Pradesh, went for a natural tan instead of going for make-up.
"Tigmanshu wanted a certain tanned look since he is playing the role of a rural gangster. When Saif learnt this, he decided that instead of the make-up he would sit outside his van in the afternoons to get the natural tanned look," a soorce from the movie set said.
The multi-starrer is slated for a September 6 release.
