About their characters

Jaideep Ahlawat plays the mafia boss in the edge-of-the-seat thriller. Saif Ali Khan plays the role of one of the goons hired by Jaideep to pull off a giant heist.

"With Jewel Thief, we wanted to bring the scale and excitement of big-screen action to Netflix. It's stylish, thrilling, and packed with entertainment — everything audiences love about heist dramas," the producers of the show said.

Star culture on OTT

"Things have changed a lot, where more relatable, even relatable looking characters can effectively drive a show. In that sense, the whole concept of stardom itself has changed. OTT doesn't need a movie star to drive a show or a series and it has been proven so often. What you really need is an effective actor," Saif Ali Khan told HT.
