Directed by Siddharth Anand—known for helming action-packed blockbusters like Pathaan, War, and Fighter—this movie promises to be a high-stakes thriller filled with deception, suspense, and breathtaking action.

The teaser introduces Jaideep as a powerful crime lord who hires a sophisticated and suave thief, played by Saif, to steal the world’s most elusive diamond—the African Red Sun, valued at Rs 500 crore. Staying true to his character, Saif is seen donning multiple disguises as he meticulously plans his next big heist. The teaser also offers glimpses of Kunal Kapoor in a pivotal role. However, just as the heist seems to be falling into place, things take an unexpected turn. Chaos erupts, and a deadly game of deception and betrayal unfolds, keeping the tension alive.

The movie showcases Jaideep Ahlawat in a never-seen-before avatar as the primary antagonist. While this marks his first collaboration with Saif Ali Khan, he has previously shared screen space with the latter’s wife, Kareena Kapoor, in Netflix’s Jaane Jaan.
