Saif steps towards non-mainstream movies

Earlier titled Akoori, Being Cyrus is the directorial debut of Homi Adajania and this is Saif's first film in English. Being Cyrus is a psychological drama with unusual characterisations.

The story revolves around a Parsi family, the Sethnas residing in the hills of Panchgani. A retired sculptor, Dinshaw (Naseeruddin Shah) heads the family. Other members of the joint family comprise Dinshaw's wife Katy (Dimple Kapadia), brother Farokh, sister-in-law Tina and the other brother Fardoonjee.

Then arrives Cyrus (Saif Ali Khan) at the Sethna house and stays on.

As the movie proceeds, it is possible to gain a psychological insight into the complex Sethna family. Not just that, even Cyrus comes across as a bizarre personality.
