Mumbai, April 25 (NationPress) Bollywood’s sophisticated star Saif Ali Khan, is gearing up for his next release, "Jewel Thief-The Heist Begins". He shared his thoughts on the excitement of embodying a thief, expressing that there’s a captivating charm in taking on a character that operates outside conventional boundaries.
As he reflects on his role as Rehan Roy, Saif states, “Portraying a thief in a heist film is incredibly intriguing since he is someone who defies the system, bending the rules. It’s fascinating to delve into such a character and bring it to life.”
His character, Rehaan, is a charismatic rogue who embraces rebellion, possesses an adventurous soul, and harbors a profound love for his family.
He describes Rehaan as “a thief with organization, flair, an adventurous spirit, and a devoted family man.”
“He embodies the quintessential Hindi film hero, breaking laws, deceiving people, yet retaining a kind heart. This multifaceted nature made him irresistible to portray and I believe engaging for the audience to watch.”
Directed by Kookie Gulati and Robbie Grewal, "Jewel Thief-The Heist Begins" also features Jaideep Ahlawat, Nikita Dutta, and Kunal Kapoor.
It wasn’t merely Rehaan’s depth that attracted Saif.
He elaborated: “Such offers don’t come along every day.”
“It’s addictive to inhabit an alternate universe teeming with energy. This world brims with red diamonds, mafia leaders wielding guns, whiskey glasses clashing, people being thrown out of windows, thrilling chases, and the excitement of heists. It’s action-packed yet fantastical.”
Saif highlighted that Rehaan’s persona is cool and larger than life, set in a vibrant universe that feels reminiscent of a comic book, making it a delightful experience.
“Filming was so enjoyable that I found myself eager to return home, aware it would feel strange once it was over. Actors often talk about how to let go of a film; I suspect this one will linger because I had an absolute blast shooting it,” he shared.
"Jewel Thief- The Heist Begins" will become available for streaming on Netflix starting April 25.
