Saif, who has played an urban youth in films like 'Cocktail', 'Hum Tum' and 'Salaam Namaste', will be seen in a different kind of a role in 'Bullett Raja'.
"Saif's image is that of an urban kind, so we have shown through his gestures the way he (rural guy) would do it - like holding a glass of water or handshake. We were careful that Saif doesn't look like an urban guy in this film. His contribution is huge in this film," Tigmanshu told PTI in an interview here.
Usually in a commercial film, heroines have very little to perform but Tigmanshu insists this is not the case with his film.
"I respect women and we have always had strong women roles in our films. Sonakshi is not just looking pretty or crying on the shoulder of the hero. There is much more to her in this film," he said.
"She happens to meet Jimmy Shergill and Saif and gets attracted to their machoism. She looks pretty and is a great dancer. I am happy to work with her," he said.
