Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Priyadarshan Unite for Haiwaan!
Thursday Jul 03, 2025
The wait is finally over for fans eagerly anticipating the on-screen reunion of two of Bollywood's most charismatic stars! After a hiatus of over 15 years, Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan are all set to collaborate once more in an edge-of-the-seat thriller titled 'Haiwaan'. Helmed by the versatile director Priyadarshan, this highly anticipated project is slated to begin shooting in August 2025, with a theatrical release planned for 2026.
This exciting news marks a significant moment for Hindi cinema, bringing together a beloved pairing last seen together in the 2008 action-comedy Tashan. While they've shared screen space in iconic films like Main Khiladi Tu Anari (1994) and Yeh Dillagi (1994), 'Haiwaan' promises a fresh, intense narrative.
'Haiwaan': A Title That Hints at Intensity
The film's intriguing title, 'Haiwaan', which translates to 'beast' in English, has already generated considerable buzz. A source close to the production revealed that the title was chosen unanimously by the team because "it describes their subject the best, and conveys exactly how Priyadarshan sees it – as an edge-of-the-seat thriller. There were other titles in contention, but this one clicked unanimously, given the characters the lead actors play.” This suggests a dark, gripping narrative, hinting at complex, perhaps even morally ambiguous, roles for both Akshay and Saif.
Priyadarshan at the Helm: A Master of All Genres
The presence of Priyadarshan as the director adds another layer of excitement to 'Haiwaan'. While often celebrated for his riotous comedies like Hera Pheri and Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Priyadarshan is equally adept at crafting compelling thrillers, as seen in critically acclaimed films like Gardish and Virasat. This project will see him return to the suspense genre, promising a film that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
Reports also suggest that 'Haiwaan' is likely an official Hindi remake of Priyadarshan's highly successful 2016 Malayalam thriller, Oppam, which starred Mohanlal. If true, this hints at a compelling plot centered around a visually impaired protagonist embroiled in a murder mystery, a concept ripe for a gripping adaptation. Intriguingly, some reports indicate Akshay Kumar might be playing the antagonist in this version, setting up a thrilling face-off with Saif Ali Khan.
The Return of a Dynamic Duo
Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan's on-screen chemistry has always been a fan favorite. Their ability to complement each other, whether in action, comedy, or drama, has left a lasting impression on audiences. Both actors have evolved significantly in their craft over the past two decades, with Akshay mastering a wide range of genres and Saif gaining immense critical acclaim for his nuanced and often intense performances. Their combined star power, coupled with Priyadarshan's vision, is expected to deliver a high-octane cinematic experience.
Production and Release Timeline
The makers are eyeing a 2026 theatrical release for 'Haiwaan'. With the shoot commencing in August 2025, the project will soon be moving into full swing. Both Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan have busy slates. Akshay recently wrapped another Priyadarshan directorial, Bhooth Bangla, and is lined up for Welcome to the Jungle and Hera Pheri 3. Saif Ali Khan was last seen in Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins and has other projects in the pipeline.
The reunion of this powerful trio – Akshay, Saif, and Priyadarshan – for 'Haiwaan' is undoubtedly one of Bollywood's most anticipated collaborations. Fans are eagerly awaiting more official details as the project gears up for production.
