During the trailer launch of Jewel Thief in Mumbai, Nikita expressed gratitude and opened up about finally playing a 'typical Bollywood heroine' in the film.
"I've been part of Siddharth Anand's (producer) world, which I feel is a huge thing because I mean, I feel as an actor, especially as a female actress, I would say. I don’t think I've lived the classic Bollywood heroine tag, which, thanks to you and Mamta (Siddharth's wife), I have gotten this opportunity to play the classic Bollywood heroine. I'm not saying because you're going to see me dancing. It's just overall to get the heroine feeling. I think I've gotten that from this film," she had said.
Directed by Kookie Gulati, Robbie Grewal and written by Sumit Aroraa, Jewel Thief is set against the breathtaking backdrops of Budapest, Istanbul, and Mumbai.
The story of the film follows Aulak (Jaideep), a powerful figure obsessed with acquiring Red Sun, Africa’s most valuable diamond. He hires a skilled thief (Saif) to steal it. Hot on their trail is a determined cop (Kunal), intent on capturing the elusive robber. Adding intrigue is the female lead, married to the villain but seemingly sharing a mysterious past with the thief.
