Baazaar sees Saif Ali Khan portray a rich Gujarati stock trader. Saying he had to change his voice, walk and look for the film, the actor told IANS, “That’s a complete experience for an actor. I like films which involve a lot of talking and creating space and Baazaar is one of that kind.”

Of late, Saif has had a dry run at the box office with his films Happy Ending, Rangoon, Chef and Kaalakandi failing to work at box office. “I really don’t know how something runs and something does not run... If I knew, I would be doing films which just run. I don’t have an answer to it. It is good if films collect good money because so many people have invested so much money in the films. It does bother me, I would be lying if I say it does not bother me. But it (collections) does not affect my confidence because I know these things go up and down in life,” he said.
