Kunal Kapoor opened up recently about being part of ensemble films and multi-starrers and said that he has never felt inferior while working with major stars. The actor will be next seen playing the role of a cop in the Saif Ali Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat starrer Jewel Thief.
Speaking about it, he said, “For me, acting has never been a battle of egos. Whether it’s a solo film or standing among an ensemble, what truly matters is the lasting impression my character leaves on the audience. I've shared the screen with major stars throughout my career, but never once felt lesser because each performer brings their own personality to the table.”
He added, “With Jewel Thief, there were two compelling reasons, the chance to collaborate with talents like Saif Ali Khan, Jaideep, and Siddharth Anand and the fact that every character in this story possesses a distinct voice and space in the story. At the end of the day, I believe your craft and character should do the talking, not your billing on the poster."
Directed by Kookie Gulati and Robbie Grewal, Jewel Thief is backed by Siddharth Anand, and it is scheduled to be released on Netflix on April 25.
