A Special Reunion on Screen
Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan were last seen together in the 2008 film Tashan. Since then, fans have been waiting to see these two stars team up once again.

Everyone finds the film even more thrilling because of their obvious friendship and enjoyable chemistry.
What is “Haiwaan” About?

With many unexpected turns, the story will keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
Akshay Kumar will play the role of the antagonist, or the “bad guy,” in the movie. He joked in an interview that the name Haiwaan (which means “beast” or “wild one”) fits well with the role he is playing. This role is different from some of his previous characters, and fans are eager to see him perform as a villain.

The film will also feature well-known actors Bobby Deol and Kajol in addition to Akshay and Saif. Expectations are very high for this film because of the talented cast and the seasoned director, Priyadarshan.
The Friendship and Fun on Set
It’s evident from Akshay’s Instagram videos that there is a lot of laughter and fun on the set. Saif made fun of Akshay by telling him to wear “Devil” instead of the word “Saint,” which was printed on his T-shirt. In a lighthearted response, Akshay said that Saif is the team’s true “Devil.” This light-hearted banter shows the great bond between the actors and gives fans a glimpse of the friendly vibe while shooting.
