Since May, Siddharth Anand’s yet-untitled production has piqued curiosity among fans, and for good reason. To begin with, it’s a heist thriller, a genre that’s not frequently seen in Hindi cinema. More importantly, it sees two powerful actors, Saif Ali Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat, pitted against each other. Khan, one of the early birds in Indian digital entertainment with Sacred Games, will return to Netflix with the Robbie Grewal-directed venture. The director is naturally gung-ho about the project, and hopes to take it on floors early next year. “The idea from the word go was to get two powerhouse performers who are pitted against each other in the film. It’s a true blue heist film, and a caper story when told well is bound to garner interest,” says Grewal.
While Khan has previously worked with Anand on Salaam Namaste (2005) and Ta Ra Rum Pum (2007), this is his first collaboration with Grewal. The director, who last helmed Adhura Sach, tells us that the protagonist’s role was written keeping Khan in mind. “Saif is such a cool guy with a lovely sense of humour. I’ve had the pleasure of hanging out with him a lot throughout the year. He is refreshingly witty, and that’s what we are keeping in mind. We have written the character keeping his real-life persona in mind.”
