Jaideep Ahlawat to play antagonist in Siddharth Anand's next with Saif Ali Khan
According to sources close to the development, Siddharth Anand has roped in Jaideep Ahlawat to play the antagonist in this Robbie Grewal directorial. “Jaideep has over the years emerged as the top choice for antagonist roles in Hindi films as the actor has time and again reinvented himself in the grey parts. While he was always at the top of the mind for producers to play key roles in the films, his shot to fame is the portrayal of a cop in Paatal Lok,” revealed a source close to the development.
The source further added that Siddharth himself is a fan of Jaideep’s acting and believes that he fits the world of his next for Netflix perfectly. “It’s essentially a racing-against-time action thriller with a heist and a rescue operation in its backdrop. The idea is to spin it into a big-scale action franchise for the digital platform, and all the players are bullish about the prospects of the film,” the source added.
