Nikita Dutta Shines in Netflix’s Jewel Thief – The Heist Begins.

The actor calls her role as Farah “destiny” and says it’s a genre she’s always wanted to explore.

Mumbai, April 24, 2025 — Nikita Dutta steps into the spotlight with Netflix’s Jewel Thief – The Heist Begins, a slick thriller produced by Siddharth Anand’s Marflix Productions. Directed by Kookie Gulati and Robbie Grewal, the film is set to stream from April 25.

For Dutta, this wasn’t just another role — it was a dream come true.

Hooked from the First Call

The actor, who’s been watching heist thrillers non-stop lately, felt an instant connection to the script.

“Mamta Anand called me and said they were working on a film like this — I didn’t even need to think twice,” she says. “I’ve been manifesting something like this without even realizing it.”

Meet Farah: Bold, Sharp, and Unapologetic

Dutta plays Farah, a character with grit, glamour, and heart. She’s not just part of the team — she’s a force within it.

“Farah has depth, power, and her own voice. I loved that about her,” Dutta shares. “We kept reworking the script to bring out her layers — and she kept getting better.”

Star Power and Standout Performances

Starring alongside Saif Ali Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Kunal Kapoor, Dutta says the experience was as rewarding as it was surreal.

“It’s one thing to play a great role, and another to do it with actors like this,” she says. “Watching them on set — how they evolve, how they hold the screen — was incredible.”

A Real-Life Heist Moment

In a twist worthy of her character, Dutta recently had her own “heist” moment — getting a photo with the African Red Sun diamond in Mumbai before the film’s release.

It was the perfect full-circle moment for the actor, who seems to be living her role both on and off screen.

Streaming Now

Jewel Thief – The Heist Begins premieres April 25 on Netflix. And if Nikita Dutta’s journey is anything to go by, Farah is a name you won’t forget anytime soon.
