The much-awaited trailer of the Saif Ali Khan starrer Netflix’s Jewel Thief — The Heist Begins has finally dropped. Announced earlier at Netflix’s ‘Next on Netflix’ event, the film boasts a stellar cast, including Saif Ali Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat, Kunal Kapoor and Nikita Dutta. The two-minute trailer, shared across digital platforms, promises high-octane action, gripping drama and breathtaking locations, complemented by stylish music. It teases a thrilling partnership between Saif Ali Khan’s character, Rehan Roy-a sharp-witted master thief-and Jaideep Ahlawat’s Rajan Aulakh, a formidable mafia boss. The duo’s audacious plan to steal the African Red Sun jewel, valued at Rs 500 crore, sets the stage for a tense cat-and-mouse chase with Kunal Kapoor’s detective, Vikram Patel, who is determined to outsmart them. Nikita Dutta’s Farah adds a romantic twist, weaving love into the intricate plot. Directed by Kookie Gulati and Robbie Grewal, the film marks a reunion between producer Siddharth Anand and Saif Ali Khan, 18 years after their collaborations on Ta Ra Rum Pum and Salaam Namaste. With loyalties tested and motives entangled, Jewel Thief – The Heist Begins promises a rollercoaster of suspense and betrayal. The action thriller is set to premiere on Netflix on April 25, 2025. It is worth mentioning here that Indian producer Ramesh Taurani responded to reports about the casting process of ‘Race 4,’ the next title in the action-thriller franchise. While several actors’ names made rounds on media for the film, Taurani has confirmed that he was in talks with only Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan and Sidharth Malhotra, Indian media outlets reported. “We would like to clarify that we are currently in discussions only with Saif Ali Khan and Sidharth Malhotra for the next installment of the Race franchise, which is currently in its scripting phase,” his production house said in a statement. It added, “No other male or female actors have been approached at this stage. We sincerely request the media and social media pages to avoid engaging with false news and to wait for an official confirmation from our PR team.”
