In an IMDb exclusive, Saif Ali Khan acknowledges that on the first day of filming Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins, he “hated himself.” Recently, Saif Ali Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat, Kunal Kapoor, and Nikita Dutta starred in the intense action film Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins. The film, which was produced by Siddharth Anand, centers on a high-stakes diamond theft and the nuanced individuals that get entangled in it.

Khan, Ahlawat, and Anand discussed everything from the hectic filming schedule to the amusing behind-the-scenes happenings in an exclusive interview with IMDb.

“For me, it was the role and the story of a talented kind of person who has these dark skills and goes against the system,” Saif Ali Khan said when asked what attracted him to the movie. He is a rebellious individual who has achieved success in life. He is a likable figure who acts morally and with the right intentions. One of his lines in the movie, “Sometimes good people have to do bad things to save their family,” struck a chord with me.

“I love watching this genre, and it’s always exciting to create something like this,” director Siddharth Anand said. I like doing activities that challenge me and cause me to have restless nights. With his trademark sense of humor, Jaideep Ahlawat continued, “For me, it was simple.” Saif Sir, Siddharth, Mamta ma’am, Netflix, Marflix, and blonde Jaideep Ahlawat.

“I remember my first day, it was very late at night,” Khan said, looking back on the first day of filming. At 1 AM, we got began. When the sun came up, I would finish about five in the morning. I had never met Jaideep before. It was the first day, so I loathed myself as usual. To be honest, I’m not always sure what I’m doing. I was a bit anxious since it takes some time to get accustomed to it. a bit worn out. A little disoriented.

“I was shooting with Jaideep sir’s dog in the movie and it’s a massive rottweiler,” he said, adding a humorous note, recalling an incident involving Ahlawat’s on-screen dog. I had no idea they were so large. You may use it whatever you choose, according to the owner. I was playing with it and giving it biscuits. I pulled it a little at one point. It gave me the fiercest roar before saying, “You can do whatever you want, but don’t pull it.”

“I’m surprised just working with him (Saif),” Ahlawat said in response to a question about what surprised them about one another during the filming. I’m working with him, and I’ve done something wonderful that surprised me as well. “I was surprised by how thin he was,” Khan said. He looked really decent when I last saw him in the role of Hathiram (Ahlawat’s character in Paatal Lok). I was reminded of young Sanjay Dutt by him because he was slender, nasty, tough, and quite attractive. The dedication to the photos’ realism was the second element, which shouldn’t have shocked me but did.
