Jaideep Ahlawat Impresses With His Slick Dance Moves In Jewel Thief Song Jaadu, Netizens Say 'He's Better Than Saif Ali Khan' (VIDEO)

Jaideep Ahlawat, known for his intense and brooding screen presence in films and web series like Paatal Lok and Jaane Jaan, is now turning heads for an entirely different reason - his unexpectedly slick dance moves.

As the release of the much-anticipated film Jewel Thief draws near on an OTT platform, the makers have unveiled the first song from the film, titled Jaadu. Featuring Saif Ali Khan, Nikita Dutta, and Jaideep, the track is a vibrant, high-energy number that blends peppy beats with subtle whistles and retro-inspired flair.

While Saif effortlessly channels his signature charm, evoking a wave of nostalgia among his fans, it's Jaideep who has left the internet buzzing. Known for playing serious and layered characters, the actor's confident and unexpectedly smooth dance performance has stunned fans and critics alike.

In the video, Jaideep can be seen grooving seamlessly with the background dancers, even managing to outshine his co-stars at times. His energy, rhythm, and surprising ease on the dance floor have earned him a wave of praise online. Viewers are calling his performance 'insane', 'graceful,' and 'a total show-stealer'.

Netizens react to Jaideep's dance moves

Reacting to Jaideep's video on Instagram, a user wrote, "My man jaideep alahawat got some movess!!! Give him a single solo album to dance rn!!!!!"

Another complimented, "His moves are natural.. not taught who knew he could dance too .. such talent we have .. yet hardly get to see it."

"Jaideed dancing!!!??? That's so unexpected," a user expressed shock. "Pleasantly surprised to see Jaideep Ahlawat dancing like a pro & such suave moves Talk abou hidden talents " wrote another user.

Here's how others reacted:

It's rare to see a transformation this sharp - an actor best known for dark and grounded roles suddenly lighting up the screen with playful dance moves. And that's precisely why it works. Also, this could definitely be a game-changing moment in Jaideep's already acclaimed career.

While Saif's effortless presence and Nikita's glam appeal certainly add to the track's charm, it's Jaideep's unexpected groove that's sparked a fresh conversation.

In the film, Jaideep will be seen playing the role of a relentless mafia boss.

Opening up about the film and his role, he had earlier said, "A film that is so interesting, challenging, and as exciting as any project or role of mine. It's the experience of getting into a new universe with a bunch of people that are as excited as you to deliver the best. The heist film was something I always wanted to explore, and what better than collaborating with the best co-star and makers like Saif and Siddharth (Producer, Siddharth Anand)? We had a blast on set, teamwork determines how a film comes to life. About the character, all I can say is it’s new, intense, and an unexplored territory for me, but such a well-crafted character like all of the others in the film."

Directed by Kookie Gulati, Robbie Grewal and written by Sumit Aroraa, the film is set against the breathtaking backdrops of Budapest, Istanbul, and Mumbai. The heist drama is touted to be a pulse-pounding game of wits, deception, and action.

Jewel Thief is all set to stream on Netflix from April 25.
