Speaking at the event, Siddharth Anand reflected on the essence of his storytelling, stating: "The common thread in all my films is entertainment. There are so many people here… My endeavour is to make films that you can watch together, as a community. Clap, cheer, laugh, and even shed a tear or two together."
Highlighting the global platform Netflix offers, Anand expressed pride in the scale of the release:"It’s a perfect fit for Netflix. The fact that it's debuting in 199 countries, with 300 million subscribers watching it on Day 1, is incredible. My aim was to create an immersive film experience you can enjoy from the comfort of your couch—and that’s exactly what Jewel Thief will offer. Netflix is the best option for a film like this."
Jewel Thief – The Heist Begins promises a fast-paced, suspenseful ride and marks a significant milestone for Anand as he expands his creative reach into the digital space. With a powerful cast, gripping story, and a global platform, the film is poised to deliver a thrilling cinematic experience straight into living rooms worldwide.
