Helmed by directors Kookie Gulati and Robbie Grewal, the episode links into Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins, a Marflix Productions film by Siddharth Anand and produced by Mamta Anand. The film features an ensemble cast including Saif Ali Khan and Nikita Dutta, adding further star power to the crossover.
With streaming available across Netflix, Sony LIV, and Sony Entertainment Television, the episode promises to deliver suspense, thrills, and a touch of chaos as CID detectives unravel a case that might be bigger than any they’ve seen before.
