Jewel Thief”: Kunal Kapoor Playfully Labels Co-Star Saif Ali Khan a “Pain

In an interview with **Filmygyan**, the cast shared their experiences working together. Kunal Kapoor humorously described his time on set, joking that Saif was a “pain” to work with. While the rest of the cast expressed their enjoyment of the filming process, Kunal felt a bit differently. “I felt lonely, as my character is on the chase and not with them in the film. They had fun together while I was off on my own,” he explained.
Kunal also recounted his working relationship with Saif: “He is indeed a pain! It was challenging because he often didn’t show up on time, and when he did, he wasn’t familiar with his lines. This meant we had to wait for him to get ready for each take.” The cast shared a laugh about it, noting that with Saif’s limited presence on social media, he might never catch wind of Kunal’s jests.
Directed by **Kookie Gulati** and **Robbie Grewal**, **‘Jewel Thief’** is produced by **Siddharth Anand** and **Mamta Anand** under Marflix Pictures. The film’s synopsis from Netflix teases: “A crime lord hires a master thief to steal the world’s most elusive diamond—the African Red Sun.
