After nearly two decades, Bollywood fans will once again see Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan sharing the screen in Priyadarshan’s highly anticipated thriller Haiwaan. Their last collaboration was in the 2007 film Tashan, and this reunion has created a wave of excitement among audiences.
The first day of filming has already set social media buzzing, with behind-the-scenes glimpses of the duo going viral. Adding to the excitement, Shriya Pilgaonkar has officially joined the cast. Known for her standout performance in Mandala Murders, Shriya is expected to bring a refreshing and impactful presence to the film.
Written by Rohan Shankar, the writer behind the hit 2025 musical drama Saiyaara, Haiwaan is reportedly the official Hindi remake of the Malayalam blockbuster Oppam. The original, directed by Priyadarshan, featured Mohanlal as a blind man entangled in a chilling murder mystery, earning praise for its suspenseful storytelling and stellar performances.
Priyadarshan’s adaptation promises to deliver the same gripping intensity while blending in the grandeur of Bollywood. With Akshay Kumar known for his action-packed energy, Saif Ali Khan for his intense performances, and Shriya Pilgaonkar expected to take on a pivotal role, the film is shaping up to be an edge-of-the-seat experience.
The ensemble cast also includes Boman Irani, adding further depth to an already stellar lineup. Combining suspense, drama, and high-octane thrills, Haiwaan is poised to be one of the most awaited releases of the year, marking a nostalgic yet fresh cinematic moment for fans of Akshay and Saif.
