Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan’s Haiwaan goes on floors
Akshay shared a video from the set of Haiwaan in Kochi. Pulling Saif’s leg, the actor, who wore a T-shirt with Saint printed on it, said, “I know this devil very well.” Akshay and Saif shared the screen in multiple films such as Main Khiladi Tu Anari, Yeh Dillagi, Tu Chor Main Sipahi and Tashan.
His caption read, “Hum sab hi hain thode se shaitaan…Koi upar se Saint, koi andar se Haiwaan :)) Starting the shoot for #Haiwaan today with my absolute favourite captain of the ship, @priyadarshan.official Sir. Great to be working with Saif after nearly 18 years. Let’s get the haiwaniyat rolling!!”
In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Akshay spoke about reuniting with Priyadarshan and Saif. “It’s great that I’m working again with Priyadarshan ji. And the best part is that I’m working with Saif Ali Khan again. After such a long time, we’re teaming up once more, and I can’t wait to start shooting with him,” he said.
Reacting to the title, Akshay joked, “This was written in my destiny. First, I did Insaan, then Jaanwar, and now Haiwaan. So, the trilogy is complete, Insaan, Jaanwar, Haiwaan. It wasn’t planned that way.”
