Under
the
hot
Mumbai
sun,
a
sly
mission
was
underway
to
steal
the
Red
Sun
—
a
coveted
piece
of
diamond
worth
millions!
Saif
Ali
Khan
and
Jaideep
Ahlawat
emerge
from
the
smoke
and
vow
that
they
won’t
stop
at
anything
to
make
this
heist
possible.
Attired
in
spiffy
casuals,
the
actors
show
up
in
their
respective
characters
as
partners-in-crime
to
unveil
their
mission
in
Netflix’s
new
film
Jewel
Thief:
The
Heist
Begins.

“People
enjoy
watching
people
breaking
the
law,
which
gives
them
a
chance
to
take
on
the
system.
That’s
what
heist
films
are
about,”
Saif
says
about
his
role
in
the
thriller.

Jewel
Thief
is
backed
by
Pathaan
and
Fighter
Director
Siddharth
Anand,
who
marks
his
first
OTT
outing
as
producer.
Anand
is,
of
course,
also
known
for
directing
romantic-comedy
films
in
the
early
2000s
including
Salaam
Namaste
and
Ta
Ra
Rum
Pum
starring
Saif.
Anand
said
he
was
excited
to
reunite
with
Saif
for
Jewel
Thief.

In
a
far
cry
from
his
usual
intense
roles,
Jaideep
gets
to
slip
into
cool
dance
moves
as
seen
in
the
film’s
latest
track
Jaadu.
Is
the
Paatal
Lok
actor
enjoying
his
viral
moment
by
showing
this
never-seen-before
side?
The
actor
feels
rather
shy
as
he
explains,
“I
don’t
know
why
people
get
surprised
when
someone
shows
they
can
dance.
I
come
from
Haryana
and
people
who
have
seen
me
since
my
childhood
know
that
I
have
danced
a
lot
in
the
past.”
This
admission
triggers
vociferous
requests
from
the
audience
who
ask
for
a
Jaadu
hookstep.
Jaideep
gives
in.

Nikita

who

a
de-glam
role
in
her
last
outing
The
Waking

A
Nation,
thanked
Siddharth

for
creating
a”unique
world”
with

her
character
Farah
is
something
she
had
never
gotten
an
opportunity
to
play
before:
“The
classic
Bollywood
heroine”.

Jewel
Thief
might
put
them
on
the
verge
of
double-crossing
each
other
but
Jaideep
and
Saif
didn’t
miss
any
opportunity
to
show
off
their
bromance
at
the
event
as
they
hugged
and
struck
funny
poses
together.
Until
one
point
when
Jaideep
was
asked
what
he
would
want
to
steal
from
Saif.
“There’s
a
property
in
Haryana,
Pataudi
Palace.
It
is
a
good
property.
I
have
seen
it,
it’s
wonderful,”
Jaideep
cheekily
replied.
Saif,
who
was
visibly
amused
by
Jaideep’s
answer,
who
asked
with
a
smile:
“Is
he
buying
my
house?”
