Actress Saiyami Kher has recently wrapped up her shooting for “Haiwaan” at a Mumbai college, which holds special significance for her as it is her alma mater. She expressed that the film brought her back to where it all began.
Emotional Connection to College
Saiyami shared her heartfelt emotions, stating, “Wrapping Haiwaan in Xaviers was such a special feeling for me. Met some of the professors, the same watchman, and staff who were beaming with pride. This college shaped me and let me dream to become an actor.”
Reflecting on her experience, she added, “Walking through those corridors again, but this time as an actor shooting my film, felt surreal. It was like life had come full circle. I felt a deep sense of gratitude to my college for shaping me, and to this film for bringing me back to where it all began. It really felt like coming back home.”
Star-Studded Cast and Locations
The film features a star-studded cast, including Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, and Sharib Hashmi in pivotal roles. It has been shot across picturesque locations, such as Kochi, Ooty, and Mumbai.
The project began filming in August this year and marks the reunion of Bollywood superstars Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan after 18 years. Back in August, Akshay shared a behind-the-scenes video on Instagram where he and Saif were seen chatting casually with director Priyadarshan.
He captioned the post, “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 17 years. Let’s get the haiwaniyat rolling!! @kvn.productions @thespianfilms_ind.”
Previous Collaboration
Saif and Akshay last worked together in ‘Tashan’, which was both a commercial and critical disaster.
In addition, Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar are collaborating on a project titled ‘Bhoot Bangla’. This horror drama is expected to release towards the end of 2025, marking another reunion for Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan, who are among the most commercially successful actor-director pairings in Hindi cinema.
