Big Revelations at Netflix’s 2025 Event
On February 3rd, Netflix India hosted their grand announcement event in Mumbai, showcasing their upcoming content slate. The star-studded affair became even more special with Saif Ali Khan making his first public appearance since his recent injury. Among the various announcements, ‘Jewel Thief’ emerged as one of the most anticipated projects, promising a perfect blend of action, suspense, and drama.
The Official Synopsis
Netflix’s official description sets the stage perfectly: “A powerful crime lord hires a jewel thief to steal the world’s most elusive diamond – The African Red Sun.

The teaser introduces us to a world of high-stakes crime where Jaideep plays a powerful crime lord who recruits a sophisticated thief (Saif) to steal the African Red Sun diamond, valued at a staggering Rs 500 crore. The teaser showcases Saif in multiple disguises, planning what appears to be the perfect heist. However, as the story unfolds, unexpected twists and betrayals turn this seemingly straightforward heist into a dangerous game of cat and mouse.
What makes this project particularly exciting is the fresh pairing of Saif Ali Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat, two powerhouse performers who’ll be sharing screen space for the first time. Adding to the star power is Kunal Kapoor in a significant role, though details about his character are still under wraps. Behind the camera, we have the masterful Siddharth Anand, known for blockbusters like Pathaan, War, and Fighter, making his streaming debut as a producer alongside Mamta Anand under their Marflix banner.
Saif’s Emotional Comeback After Injury
The most touching moment at the Netflix event was Saif Ali Khan’s presence and his heartfelt words. Making his first public appearance since the violent attack at his home, Saif spoke with remarkable courage despite wearing a cast on his arm. In his own words: “It’s very nice to be standing here in front of you…it feels very nice to be here. I’m very excited about this movie. Siddharth and I have been talking about this for a long time. I’ve always wanted to do a heist film and I couldn’t have asked for a better co-star,” he said, touching Jaideep’s shoulder in a warm gesture.
For context, Saif had faced a terrifying incident at his Bandra home on January 16th, where he was stabbed five times during an attempted robbery. He underwent emergency surgery to remove a knife lodged near his spine and spent five days in the hospital. The alleged perpetrator is now in police custody, and security has been increased at his residence.
Maker’s Vision
Siddharth and Mamta Anand shared their excitement about their streaming debut in a joint statement: “We at Marflix are thrilled to make our streaming debut with Netflix through The Jewel Thief. This film has been a labor of love, combining action, suspense, and intrigue to craft an edge-of-the-seat cinematic experience. It’s a project that pushes creative boundaries with high-octane sequences, gripping storytelling, and breathtaking visuals.”
Star Connections
While this marks the first collaboration between Saif and Jaideep, there’s an interesting connection – Jaideep recently worked with Saif’s wife, Kareena Kapoor, in Netflix’s ‘Jaane Jaan.’ He’s currently enjoying the success of ‘Paatal Lok Season 2.’ In ‘Jewel Thief,’ audiences will see Jaideep in a never-before-seen avatar as the primary antagonist.
