Saiyami Kher Joins Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan in Priyadarshan's 'Haiwaan'

New Delhi, Aug 26 (PTI) Bollywood actor Saiyami Kher has joined industry heavyweights Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan for the upcoming film "Haiwaan." Directed by Priyadarshan, who is celebrated for his comedic hits like "Hera Pheri," "Hulchul," "Bhool Bhulaiyaa," and "Hungama," the film began shooting on August 23.

This project marks a reunion for Kumar and Khan after 17 years; their last collaboration was in the 2008 film "Tashan." Saiyami Kher, known for films such as "Mirzya," "Choked," and "Sharmajee Ki Beti," expressed her delight at working with such accomplished stars.

"Walking onto the set of Haiwaan has been overwhelming in the most beautiful way," Kher reflected. "I still remember being that little girl sitting wide-eyed in a theater, watching Akshay sir redefine action or laughing endlessly at Saif sir’s effortless comic timing in films that became part of our growing-up years. Back then, I never imagined I would ever be on a set with the very people whose films fueled my passion for cinema."

The "Ghoomer" actor added, "There are moments now when I look around and have to remind myself this is real. These are the same faces I once watched from the audience, and today I’m sharing the frame with them. And then there is Priyan sir. To me, he’s not just a director; he’s a storyteller who has given us some of the most iconic films. Being guided by his vision is something I will always cherish. His films played a significant role in my love for movies, and now, being on his set is like life coming full circle."

She continued, "We’ve only just begun shooting, but I’m soaking it all in—the excitement, the nerves, the gratitude. My heart is full, and I feel incredibly blessed to be a small part of a film that already feels so special."

The film's plot details remain tightly under wraps, with filming currently taking place in Kochi.
