Saif Turns ‘Seedha Saadha’ Chor In ‘Jewel Thief’

The wait is finally over as the trailer of ‘Jewel Thief – The Heist Begins’ was unveiled on Monday evening.

‘Jewel Thief’ stars Saif Ali Khan, Kunal Kapoor, Jaideep Ahlawat and Nikita Dutta in pivotal roles. The trailer shows Saif as a “seedha saadha” “chor” who teamed up with Jaideep to steal the ultra-rare African Red Sun diamond. And then there’s a detective (Kunal Kapoor) who is behind the two and wants to arrest them.

Directed by Kookie Gulati and Robbie Grewal, and produced by Marflix Pictures in its streaming debut, Jewel Thief – The Heist Begins marks the first collaboration between Netflix and the production house founded by Siddharth Anand and Mamta Anand.

Excited about the film, the producers shared, “As filmmakers, we’re constantly exploring new ways to tell stories that are stylish, compelling, and surprising. With Jewel Thief, we wanted to create a cinematic universe that felt both classic and fresh — a modern-day heist with emotion and pace. This is our first streaming venture, and we couldn’t have asked for a better partner than Netflix to bring that vision to life. The story is slick, the characters are layered, and the scale is massive, so gear up for this action-packed adventure.”

At the trailer launch, Siddharth Anand opened up about his camaraderie with Saif Ali Khan and shared insights of his gracious nature on the sets. Besides this, he also revealed one aspect he’d never want to change in the seasoned actor.

“He is loveable. He is somebody who is a darling on set. He makes everybody comfortable. And I’m glad that this quality about Saif hasn’t changed. He makes everybody really comfortable, eases out everybody. Sometimes his jokes scare some people, his sense of humour is such. But, he is amazing, and that is something he shouldn’t change,” shared Siddharth Anand.

‘Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins’ is slated to stream from April 25. (ANI)
