Priyadarshan suffered eye injury while running after Tiger Pataudi: ‘I told Saif Ali Khan…’

Priyadarshan, a fan of late cricketer Tiger Pataudi, has shared his attempts to meet him and the resulting eye injury in a recent interview. The filmmaker, who is collaborating with Saif Ali Khan on the upcoming film Haiwaan, recounted his experience of running after Pataudi, only to fall and sustain a serious injury. Pataudi, who lost his right eye in a car accident in 1961, appeared on the sets of Haiwaan, where Priyadarshan discussed his scores and memorable moments with Saif.

Saif Ali Khan, who is reuniting with Priyadarshan after 18 years, pointed out the resemblance between Pataudi and himself during a recent interaction. Both were cricketers who lost an eye but excelled in their professional careers.
