Saif Ali Khan has always taken on myriad of characters that challenge him and let him experiment with his craft. The actor has created many iconic characters and has been seen in outstanding films and series in his storied career. Khan has successfully starred in projects both on the big screen and on OTT, and what is cool is that he says he never saw the projects differently be it for the big or small screen.
Talking about working on the different platforms, Saif Ali Khan said, “There were one or two people who asked my manager if I was doing TV now. There is nothing against TV; it’s a great medium. But I don’t think the Netflix Series is like TV at all; there are differences. Being in front of the camera is a privilege; the older I get, the more I understand that. You have to be great, and try and be very good at everything, also respect the platform you are on. There is so much amazing stuff out there, and there are so many amazing actors doing fantastic work. I don’t think I differentiate between a big movie or a small movie anymore; it’s just an opportunity to give a shot, and that has to be 100 percent commitment.”
Khan’s Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins has hit Netflix, and fans are eager to see him in this avatar.
The slick and oh so cool action-packed heist thriller sees Saif Ali Khan playing Rehan Roy — a charming and cunning thief with wits as sharp as his moves. The movie boasts a star-studded ensemble cast, including the bad guy of the story, Jaideep Ahlawat, as Rajan Aulakh, a cold and calculated mafia boss. Joining them are Kunal Kapoor as Vikram Patel, a relentless detective determined to catch the thief red-handed, and Nikita Dutta as Farah, who has stolen a different kind of jewel, Rehan Roy’s heart. As loyalties shift and motives blur, the race begins for the ultimate prize: the coveted African Red Sun jewel.
