Saif Ali Khan is to share actress screen with Pooja Bedi's daughter AlaiaFurniturewalla in Jawaani Jaaneman. In this film the duo will play father-daughter in the slice-of-life venture. The premise of the film revolves around the relationship between father and daughter in recent times. Well, by looking at the plot, it seems that even Saif's real-life daughter Sara Ali Khan would have been the perfect choice for the character but Saif doesn't agree to that.

Talking on why Sara Ali Khan was not a part of Jawaani Jaaneman, Saif told Mumbai Mirror, “Alaia is perfect for the role. “I would have loved to have Sara in the film, but that would have meant her choosing this project over everything else she is doing as we wanted it to be the first film of the person we would cast. Sara’s career trajectory is in a good place and in a way I’m happy it’s separate from mine at the moment."

There were reports that Saif will play a 50-year-old Casanova in the film but the actor denied the news and said, “The reports are ridiculous. I am excited about producing the film with Jay (Shewakramani, producer) because it’s a team coming together to create a relevant family comedy. It’s a modern film that people will connect with on many levels.” Jawani Janeman will be directed by Notebook and Filmistan helmer Nitin Kakkar and will go on floors in June in London.
