Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has officially commenced the final shooting schedule for his eagerly anticipated film, 'Haiwaan'. The actor recently shared the news, expressing immense gratitude and excitement about bringing the complex character to life under the guidance of veteran director Priyadarshan.
A Reunion 17 Years in the Making
What makes Haiwaan one of the most talked-about upcoming thrillers is the on-screen reunion of Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan after a gap of 17 years.
The duo, famous for their hit collaborations like Main Khiladi Tu Anari, last shared the screen in the 2008 film Tashan. Fans are buzzing with nostalgia and high expectations to see their chemistry rekindle in a completely new avatar.
Akshay Kumar took to social media to thank his co-star, saying that the experience with Saif was filled with "laughter, ease, and all those effortless moments on screen." This hints at the comfortable working relationship and bromance the two share, which is expected to translate into memorable on-screen moments.
Akshay Kumar Takes on a Villainous Role
Adding another layer of intrigue to the project is Akshay Kumar's role. The 'Khiladi' of Bollywood is reportedly set to play the antagonist (villain) in Haiwaan, a departure from the heroic and comedic roles he is most known for.
The actor shared a chilling video clip, giving fans a glimpse of his intense, villainous look complete with a buzz cut and a sinister gaze.
He noted that the character "has pushed, shaped, and surprised me in so many ways," suggesting a challenging and creatively fulfilling role.
The film, directed by Priyadarshan, is an adaptation of the acclaimed 2016 Malayalam thriller 'Oppam', which starred Mohanlal as a visually impaired man. While the core story is inspired by the original, Priyadarshan has confirmed that the screenplay and dialogues have been significantly changed to suit the Hindi audience. The director, who shares a history of successful films with Akshay Kumar, has been praised by the actor, who called his sets "home."
The ensemble cast also includes talented actors like Saiyami Kher and Shriya Pilgaonkar in pivotal roles. The initial, extensive outdoor filming schedules were successfully completed across picturesque locations in South India, including Kochi, Vagamon, and Ooty. The team is now wrapping up the final phase of production in Mumbai, bringing the highly anticipated project closer to completion.
