Siddharth Nigam Performs 20-Foot Jumps For Kaptaan, Opens Up On Injuries

MUMBAI, India – 09 April, 2026: Kaptaan has hit Amazon MX Player, India’s leading free, premium, ad-supported video streaming service, with the kind of raw intensity that makes crime dramas stick, and a big part of that comes from Siddharth Nigam's fully committed turn as Kabir. Set against the volatile backdrop of Jwalabad, where power is defined by control and every decision has far-reaching consequences, the series puts Saqib Saleem’s SSP Samardeep against Siddharth Nigam’s Kabir in a world of organised crime, personal vendettas, and an escalating battle for dominance. With a phenomenal ensemble cast, including Kavita Kaushik, Varun Badola, Anjumm Shharma, Aarif Zakaria, Poojaa Gor, Vikram Kochhar, and Anushka Kaushik, Kaptaan delivers action that hits hard and emotions that cut even deeper.

What stands out most about Siddharth Nigam’s character is how physically present he feels in every frame, and that’s because he went all in on the action. Opening up about performing high-risk sequences, he shared, “I performed all my action sequences myself, from jumping off heights of around 20 feet to executing continuous one-shot action scenes. There were moments where I even got injured, but for me, that’s part of the process when you’re fully committed to the character. The intention was always to make the action feel authentic, so that the audience doesn’t just see it, but actually experiences it with Kabir.”

Siddharth also spoke about his experience working with Saqib and the entire cast, adding, “Saqib bhai is extremely supportive and brought a very positive energy on set, which made it easier for everyone to perform more freely. Working with such talented actors pushed me to bring my A-game to each scene. It was truly a collaborative environment, and there was so much to learn throughout the process.”

Directed by Jatin Wagle and produced by Pammi Baweja and Harman Baweja, under the banner of Baweja Studios, Kaptaan is now streaming for free exclusively on Amazon MX Player, available across mobile devices, Connected TVs, the Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, Jio TV and Airtel Xstream.
