Haiwaan (2026)
Haiwaan centers on a tense conflict involving a visually impaired man, a young girl, and a dangerous criminal figure. The story places its characters in a situation where trust, justice, and personal courage become increasingly important.
Saif Ali Khan plays a visually impaired martial artist who becomes determined to protect a girl from a dangerous killer. Akshay Kumar takes on a darker role as the antagonist, giving the film a very different dynamic from the pair’s earlier collaborations.
The movie is inspired by Priyadarshan’s Malayalam thriller Oppam, although the director has emphasized that Haiwaan should be viewed as a fresh interpretation rather than simply a recreation of the earlier film.
Haiwaan is an upcoming Hindi-language crime thriller directed by Priyadarshan, with Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan leading the cast. The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on September 11, 2026. It brings Priyadarshan back to a darker, more serious style of Hindi filmmaking after his long association with comedy.
The film is being produced by Venkat K. Narayana and Shailaja Desai Fenn under KVN Productions and Thespian Films. Its screenplay is credited to Priyadarshan, Abilash Nair, and Rohan Shankar.

Priyadarshan’s Direction
Haiwaan represents a notable shift for Priyadarshan, who has spent a large part of his Hindi career making comedy films. The director has described the thriller as the beginning of a new chapter and a return toward the serious filmmaking style seen in some of his earlier Hindi work. (The Times of India)
He has also explained that he wanted the actors to develop their characters independently rather than copying performances from Oppam. (Bollywood Hungama)
Akshay Kumar And Saif Ali Khan
One of the film’s biggest attractions is the reunion of Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan. The two actors previously appeared together in films including Main Khiladi Tu Anari and Tashan. Haiwaan places them on opposite sides of a much darker story.
Akshay Kumar takes on a negative role, while Saif Ali Khan plays the visually impaired protagonist. Their contrasting characters form the main dramatic tension of the film.
Production And Technical Team
The film is produced by Venkat K. Narayana and Shailaja Desai Fenn. Pritam handles the music, Divakar Mani serves as cinematographer, and Sabu Cyril is the production designer.
The action team includes Stunt Silva and Ravi Thyagarajan, while Aiyappan Nair M.S. is credited as editor. (Bollywood Hungama)
