Priyadarshan Returns with Another Big Project
Priyadarshan, the celebrated director behind timeless hits like Hera Pheri, Hungama, Hulchul, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa, has officially begun filming Haiwaan. Shooting commenced on August 23 in Kochi, promising audiences a unique cinematic experience from a filmmaker known for blending comedy, emotion, and larger-than-life storytelling.
Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan Reunite After 17 Years
The film holds special significance for Bollywood fans as it brings back the on-screen pairing of Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan after nearly two decades. Their last collaboration was the action-comedy Tashan in 2008. The duo’s reunion has already raised expectations, with fans eager to witness their chemistry once again under Priyadarshan’s direction.
Saiyami Kher’s Dream-Come-True Moment
For Saiyami Kher, joining Haiwaan feels nothing short of surreal. Known for her roles in Mirzya, Choked, Sharmajee Ki Beti, and most recently Ghoomer, the actress shared an emotional statement about the experience: “Walking onto the set of Haiwaan has been overwhelming in the most beautiful way. I still remember being that little girl who sat wide-eyed in a theatre, watching Akshay sir redefine action or laughing endlessly at Saif sir’s effortless comic timing. Back then, I never imagined that one day I would actually be on a set with the very people whose films shaped my love for cinema.”
Saiyami further added that working under Priyadarshan’s guidance feels like life coming full circle: “For me, he’s not just a director, he’s a storyteller who has given us some of the most iconic films. To be guided by his vision is something I will always carry with me. His films were a big part of why I fell in love with movies, and now, to be on his set, is like living a dream.”
Filming Begins in Kochi
Currently, the team is shooting in Kochi, though the makers have kept the film’s plot under wraps. This secrecy has only added to the curiosity surrounding Haiwaan, making it one of the most eagerly awaited Bollywood projects in recent times.
What to Expect from Haiwaan
While Priyadarshan has not revealed much about the storyline, his track record suggests that audiences can look forward to a film packed with entertainment, strong performances, and memorable moments. The combination of Akshay Kumar’s action prowess, Saif Ali Khan’s comic timing, and Saiyami Kher’s fresh energy is expected to deliver a blockbuster cinematic experience.
Conclusion: A Film to Watch Out For
With Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan’s reunion, Saiyami Kher’s heartfelt debut alongside them, and Priyadarshan’s legendary direction, Haiwaan already feels like a special project. As shooting progresses in Kochi, excitement continues to build, and Bollywood fans are eagerly waiting for more updates.
