MUMBAI: Saif Ali Khan, for the first time, allowed a show to be shot in Pataudi Palace: his upcoming web show Tandav.

It was the palatial abode of Mansoor Ali Khan. He lived in the palace grounds along with his wife Sharmila Tagore and their three kids. After his demise, Saif Ali Khan was titled the Nawab of Pataudi.

Saif's upcoming web show Tandav has been extensively shot on the grounds of the Palace that is worth Rs 800 crore. In a recent interaction, Saif revealed that he usually allows film crews to only shoot in the exterior parts of the palace. "I think it is the palace that lends us the royal look. Anyone standing there would look royal."
