Sharing his thoughts on the role, he said that there’s something intriguing about portraying a character who operates outside the system.
Reflecting on playing Rehan Roy, Saif shares “Playing a thief in a heist movie is very interesting because he is someone who challenges the system, bending the rules, it's kind of fascinating to watch and read through and portray.”
