MUMBAI: Kunal Kapoor is all set to star in the much-talked-about heist drama, Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins. Known for playing impactful roles throughout his vibrant career, Kunal makes a distinct departure from his predictable characters in the upcoming thriller, wherein he steps into the shoes of a relentless cop. Considering that Kunal’s filmography boasts films wherein he’s been a part of ensemble projects, he’s sharing the screen space with an ensemble cast yet again. Recently the actor shared his thoughts about not feeling overshadowed by starring in multi-starrer films, opened up about making careful choices of roles, and also spoke about Jewel Thief.
He shared with passion, "For me, acting has never been a battle of egos. Whether it’s a solo film or standing among an ensemble, what truly matters is the lasting impression my character leaves on the audience. I've shared the screen with major stars throughout my career, but never once felt lesser because each performer brings their own personality to the table.
With 'Jewel Thief,' there were two compelling reasons, the chance to collaborate with talents like Saif Ali Khan, Jaideep, and Siddharth Anand and the fact that every character in this story possesses a distinct voice and space in the story. At the end of the day, I believe your craft and character should do the talking, not your billing on the poster."
In Jewel Thief, Kunal Kapoor will be seen adding intensity to the gripping plot alongside Saif Ali Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Nikita Dutta. While Saif and Jaideep play the roles of a con-man and a crime lord, respectively, Kunal steps in as a ruthless cop, preventing them from getting their hands on the elusive diamond - The African Red Sun. While the trailer offered interesting glimpses into Kunal’s unpredictable role, his admirers are eager to see what he has to offer in the thriller. Directed by Kookie Gulati and Robbie Grewal, Jewel Thief is backed by Siddharth Anand, and it is scheduled to begin streaming on Netflix from April 25.
