A special moment unfolded on the sets of Haiwaan, giving fans a glimpse of something truly rare — director Priyadarshan, Saif Ali Khan, and Mohanlal, together in one frame.

The director shared the picture on social media, and it’s easy to see why it instantly captured attention: three legends from different eras and industries, united on one set.

“Look at life and the way it turns…Here I am, on the shooting sets of HAIWAN, working with the son of my biggest cricket heroes and my favourite film icon. Truly, God is kind,” Priyadarshan wrote, his words full of warmth and nostalgia for the moment.

Mohanlal, who shot a cameo for the film, stands beside Saif in matching outfits, sparking curiosity about how their characters will cross paths. For fans of the original Malayalam hit Oppam, which starred Mohanlal, the remake carries added excitement, promising a fresh take on a story they already love.

There’s more to celebrate for Bollywood enthusiasts as well: Haiwaan marks a reunion for Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar, who last shared the screen in 2008’s Tashan. The duo recently shot an action-packed chase sequence in Mumbai, teasing audiences with the energy and thrills they can expect.

Produced by KVN Productions in association with Thespian Films, and jointly produced by Venkat K Narayana and Shailaja Desai Fenn, Haiwaan blends suspense, action, and a stellar cast under Priyadarshan’s seasoned direction. Fans are especially excited to see a Bollywood-Malayalam crossover that brings together different worlds of Indian cinema.
