Saif Ali Khan Talks About Evolving As An Actor: 'Respect The Platform You Are On'

On April 25, 2025, Saif Ali Khan's much-anticipated OTT film Jewel Thief - The Heist Begins premiered on Netflix.

Saif Ali Khan has been making headlines right from the start of 2025. Following the unfortunate attack at his Bandra residence earlier this year, fans were relieved to see the actor steadily recovering and returning to work.

On April 25, 2025, his much-anticipated OTT film Jewel Thief - The Heist Begins premiered on Netflix. Sharing screen space with Jaideep Ahlawat, Kunal Kapoor, and Nikita Dutta, Saif made a notable comeback to the digital platform.

Saif Ali Khan on working across different mediums

While promoting his upcoming projects, Saif opened up to India Today about his perspective on working across different mediums. Emphasizing his respect for every platform, he said, "There were one or two people who asked my manager if I was doing TV now. There is nothing against TV; it's a great medium. But I don't think the Netflix Series is like TV at all, there are differences. Being in front of the camera is a privilege; the older I get, the more I understand that.

He continued, "You have to be great, and try and be very good at everything, also respect the platform you are on. There is so much amazing stuff out there, and there are so many amazing actors doing fantastic work. I don't think I differentiate between a big movie or a small movie anymore; it's just an opportunity to give a shot, and that has to be 100 percent commitment."
