Saif Ali Khan spotted on Haiwaan sets; reunites with Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan

Saif Ali Khan shooting for Haiwaan

Bollywood fans are buzzing after Saif Ali Khan was spotted shooting for his upcoming film Haiwaan — and it looks like he’s about to deliver one of his most intense performances yet.

The actor, who is renowned for his ability to switch between light-hearted, endearing roles and darker, more nuanced ones with ease, was spotted filming in Alibaug and appeared to be every bit the powerhouse his new role requires.

Saif exuded quiet confidence and authority while wearing a traditional outfit. His expression is unmistakably intense, suggesting the seriousness of his role in Haiwaan.

Saif no longer exudes the carefree, jovial vibes we've frequently witnessed in him; instead, his appearance conveys something ominous and erratic.

The stills from the set alone have fans convinced that he’s gearing up for a performance that will keep them glued to the screen.

But what makes Haiwaan even more special is the team behind it. For the first time ever, Saif is collaborating with Priyadarshan, the veteran filmmaker who’s given Indian cinema some of its most memorable hits.

Known for blending strong narratives with rich visual storytelling, Priyadarshan’s partnership with Saif feels like the perfect storm of craft and charisma.

And if that wasn’t enough, Haiwaan also marks Saif’s reunion with Akshay Kumar — a full 17 years after their last film together.

The duo, who gave audiences unforgettable moments in Main Khiladi Tu Anari and Tashan, are finally sharing the screen again, this time in a gripping thriller that promises edge-of-your-seat drama.

“Donning a traditional look, Saif carries just the right amount of intensity and authority his role in Haiwaan requires. Gone are the light-hearted vibes we’ve seen the duo in before. Saif is looking effortlessly intense and captivating in a role made for him, while Akshay comes in as a formidable force,” a production source revealed.

With Priyadarshan steering the ship and two of Bollywood’s biggest stars front and centre, Haiwaan is shaping up to be one of the most exciting thrillers of the year.

Judging by these early glimpses, Saif Ali Khan is all set to remind everyone why he remains one of the most compelling actors in Indian cinema.
