The highly anticipated trailer of Jewel Thief, starring Saif Ali Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat, is finally out—and it promises a stylized, high-octane heist saga that blends charisma, betrayal, and jaw-dropping twists. Scheduled for release on Netflix on April 25, 2025, the film showcases an intense battle for one of the world’s most coveted gems—the African Red Sun diamond, valued at Rs 500 crore. In this glossy, globe-trotting thriller, Jaideep Ahlawat plays the cold, calculating mafia boss Rajan Aulakh, who recruits expert thief Rehan Roy, portrayed by Saif Ali Khan, for the dangerous heist. However, Rehan has a condition—he wants half the money upfront. As their partnership spirals into mistrust, a relentless officer named Vikram Patel joins the pursuit, escalating the game of cat and mouse into a thrilling three-way conflict.

This marks the first collaboration between Jaideep Ahlawat and Saif Ali Khan. The film also represents a personal comeback for Saif, following a serious knife attack during a burglary attempt at his Bandra residence. The actor was stabbed multiple times and underwent surgery in late 2024, making Jewel Thief his first release since the incident. Jaideep Ahlawat, known for his gripping performances, was last seen in Netflix's Jaane Jaan alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan and Vijay Varma. His menacing screen presence in Jewel Thief adds gravitas to a story already pulsing with suspense and sleek visuals. Adding more sheen to the project is Siddharth Anand, the man behind action blockbusters like Pathaan, War, and Fighter. Jewel Thief marks his OTT debut as a producer through Marflix, in partnership with Netflix. The film is co-directed by Kookie Gulati and Robbie Grewal, both of whom bring a rich history of crafting compelling stories in the thriller genre.

Speaking about the project, Siddharth Anand and co-producer Mamta Anand said:

“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.” Visually stunning, packed with tension, and boasting a sharp cast, Jewel Thief is shaping up to be one of Netflix India’s most exciting releases of 2025. The trailer teases intense standoffs, lavish sets, and a fast-paced narrative that will appeal to fans of crime thrillers and stylish storytelling.

With its April 25 release date closing in, Jewel Thief is already building anticipation among audiences who are eager to see Saif Ali Khan return in a bold new avatar and Jaideep Ahlawat continue his streak of powerful roles. Whether you're in it for the chase, the style, or the heist—Jewel Thief might just be the gem you're waiting for this summer.
