Saif Ali Khan shares his experience of first day of Jewel Thief shoot

Saif Ali Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat starrer Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins was recently released on Netflix. Produced by filmmaker Siddharth Anand, the high drama stars Kunal Kapoor and Nikita Dutta in Big roles. After the film's release on OTT, Saif Ali Khan has first time given interview and shared his experience of the shooting of the film and behind-the-scenes.

In a conversation with IMDb, which also had Jaideep and Siddharth, Saif talked about how he hated himself on the first day of the film's shooting. "I remember my first day, it was very late at night. We started at 1 am. I would finish at about 5 am as the light came up. It was the first time I met Jaideep. As usual, I hated myself because it was the first day. Sometimes, to be honest, I don’t know what I’m doing. It takes a while to get used to it, I was a little nervous. A little tired. A little lost.”

Saif also shared about shooting with a rottweiler dog, “I was shooting with Jaideep sir’s dog in the movie, and it’s a massive rottweiler. I didn’t know they were that big. The owner said you can do whatever you want with it. I was feeding it biscuits and playing with it. At one point, I pulled it slightly. It growled at me in the most ferocious way, and then he said that you can do what you want, but don’t pull it,” Saif said.

According to a review by HT, “Saif is wasted in his role that comes off as ‘did the film for the big bucks’ more than ‘I am the coolest thief’. Jaideep tries hard to make his character menacing, and he somewhat succeeds. Overall, Jewel Thief is a forgettable heist drama. The makers, in the end, threaten us with ‘The Heist continues’- a potential sequel. We people need a masterclass on confidence from the makers of this film.”
