Jaideep Ahlawat's dance moves in the song 'Jaadu' from his upcoming heist thriller Jewel Thief have sparked conversations all over the internet. The film also features Saif Ali Khan, Nikita Dutta, and Kunal Kapoor, and Netflix will premiere it on April 25, 2025. Recently, Jaideep shared his reaction to the viral dance and revealed his thoughts when the makers offered him the song.
Jaideep Ahlawat, best known for portraying complex roles in Pataal Lok, Jaane Jaan and others, shocked everyone with his dance in Jewel Thief. The actor in a recent interview admitted that even the film producers were not about his interest in dancing. When he was offered to dance, Ahlawat told Mid-Day, "No one, not even Siddharth and Mamta Anand, producers had any idea that I liked dancing. When I was asked to do it, I said, ‘I can manage this much dance."
He added, "I knew I could dance, but for some reason, such a script never reached me. Here, Sid sir and the makers thought of making me dance. They could have easily shot the song only with Saif and Nikita. But Kunal bhai [Kapoor] and I were included. I saw the opportunity and accepted it.”
After Jaadu song was unveiled, some users praised Jaideep Ahlawat's moves but some thought it to be AI-generated.

Recently, during the trailer launch, addressed this issue and said, "There was nothing much we did with it. They’ve spent a lot of money on the song. Even Saif sir was saying this. ‘Why do people get surprised that someone like me can dance?’ I’m from Haryana, and I’ve danced a lot since my childhood in many wedding processions. So, dancing is okay."
