Actress Saiyami Kher has officially wrapped up the shooting schedule of “Haiwaan” and shared her enthusiastic thoughts about working with acclaimed filmmaker Priyadarshan.
Collaboration with Priyadarshan
Speaking about her experience, Saiyami expressed her excitement: “Priyadarshan’s Haiwaan has given me many firsts—my first film with Priyadarshan sir, Akshay sir, and Saif sir. It’s also my first time in this genre. So I’m pretty excited to be a part of this film.”
She described her time with Priyadarshan as a valuable lesson in clarity: “A man who has directed 99 films, his experience brings so much calm and precision to set. It’s amazing to watch someone who knows exactly what he wants, every single day.”
Memorable Moments on Set
As she concluded the schedule, Saiyami shared a heartfelt post from the film’s sets, which also features Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan.
Reflecting on her experience with Saif Ali Khan, Saiyami highlighted his unique blend of humour and intensity: “Saif sir is just constant laughter between takes. Wicked sense of humour, stories that keep everyone entertained… and then the moment it’s ‘Action,’ there’s a switch. Focused, effortless, completely in the zone.”
Lessons from Akshay Kumar
Saiyami also praised Akshay Kumar, noting the invaluable lessons she learned from observing the superstar in action: “And finally Akshay sir! What a joy. His discipline, punctuality, and dedication to work is unmatched. I’ve never seen someone bring so much energy, fun, and complete dedication to a set. Every day with him was a reminder of what professionalism really looks like. A Khiladi is born only when one puts in this kind of hard work. So much to learn from him,” she shared.
Upcoming Projects
For context, Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar last collaborated in “Tashan,” which faced criticism and did not perform well at the box office. Meanwhile, Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar are currently working on a project titled “Bhoot Bangla,” a horror drama expected to release towards the end of 2025. This film marks the reunion of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan, a combination known for their commercial success in Hindi cinema.
