Saif Ali Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat are all set to share the screens in their upcoming action-thriller movie. The heist drama is titled Jewel Thief. According to recent reports, the film will be streaming on Netflix. It is produced by Siddharth Anand under the banner of his production house Marflix.
Jewel Thief marks Saif and Siddharth’s reunion after their highly acclaimed movies Salaam Namaste and Tara Rum Pum. Saif’s upcoming movie’s name strikes a chord with Dev Anand’s movie, which also had the same name. However, Siddharth was the one who chose this title as he found it suitable for the story.
According to a report by Pinkvilla, it was stated that “While the film is titled Jewel Thief, it has got nothing to do with the original film starring the legendary Dev Anand. Siddharth Anand had this title registered under his banner and believes that the title is apt for the subject of this Robbie Grewal directorial.”
The movie will showcase a striking conflict between Saif and Jaideep. It also offers an immense sequel of action-packed scenes, which makes the film more appealing and gruesome.
The shooting for Jewel Thief has already been concluded. It is slated to be released in the latter half of this year. Netflix has initially bought the streaming rights of the movie at a hefty price of Rs 60 crore.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Siddharth Anand is currently basking in the success of Fighter. The film features Deepika Padukone, Hrithik Roshan, Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, and Akshay Oberoi in key roles. The movie had its theatrical release on the 25th of January and is highly appreciated by the masses.
The filmmaker has also been signed by YRF Studious for the much-anticipated film Tiger vs Pathaan, which stars Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan in the lead. It is slated to be released in 2025.
