Jaideep Ahlawat reveals he wants to steal Pataudi Palace from Saif Ali Khan: ‘I have seen it…’

Jewel Thief, a high-stakes heist drama featuring Saif Ali Khan, Kunal Kapoor, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Nikita Dutta, is all set to premiere on OTT on April 25. The movie, directed by Kookie Gulati and Robby Grewal, has stirred expectations among fans with a thrilling trailer.
During the trailer launch event, Jaideep Ahlawat was asked a fun question—what would he choose to “steal” from his co-stars? The actor delivered a witty response, taking a playful dig at Saif Ali Khan’s heritage.

“There is a property in Haryana called Pataudi Palace. I have seen it, it’s very beautiful,” Jaideep said with a smile, sending the crowd into laughter.

While discussing his character in the upcoming film, Jaideep hinted that Jewel Thief is filled with suspense and unexpected developments. “In a heist film, there are always many twists and turns. No one knows who is getting bluffed in this, so there will be many surprises for the audience,” he teased.
As for the much-talked-about Pataudi Palace, the estate holds deep personal and historical significance for Saif. Located in Haryana, the palace doubles as the family's holiday retreat and a popular filming location—parts of Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor, were shot there.
In a previous interview with Housing.com, Soha Ali Khan revealed interesting tidbits about their family home. While her brother Saif owns the property, their mother, veteran actress Sharmila Tagore, oversees its management and resides there. She also shared that the palace was originally constructed by their grandfather, the Nawab of Pataudi, as a grand gesture to impress his future father-in-law, since his marriage to Sajida Sultan, the Begum of Bhopal, faced strong opposition.
