Actor Saiyami Kher is having the time of her life on the set of her upcoming film Haiwaan, directed by Priyadarshan and starring Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan. Currently in the midst of shooting, Saiyami describes the atmosphere on set as warm, energetic, and creatively fulfilling. In an exclusive interview, Saiyami revealed that she is enjoying her experience working on Haiwaan, which is loosely adapted from a Malayalam project. The film is difficult to slot into a specific genre, but what excites her most is seeing Akshay Kumar in a completely new light. 'I feel you're going to see Akshay sir in a way we haven't seen him in many, many years because of what he's chosen to do,' she shared. Saiyami was equally enthusiastic about Saif Ali Khan's performance, hinting at something special without revealing too much. 'Saif is incredible in the film,' she said, expressing excitement about audiences seeing the two stars share screen space again. Saiyami described Saif as effortlessly funny and praised the camaraderie on set, which she attributed to the easygoing and grounded nature of both actors. When asked about the film's plot, Saiyami revealed that Haiwaan is an adaptation of Mohanlal's 2016 film Oppam, which follows the story of Jayaraman, a visually impaired man whose heightened senses make him an unlikely but formidable protector. Working as a caretaker for a retired judge, Jayaraman finds himself drawn into a dangerous web of crime after the judge is murdered, forcing him to rely on instinct to uncover the truth. With Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan presenting unexpected roles, Haiwaan is generating curiosity among fans. The film is expected to wrap up by the end of the month, and Saiyami will soon begin work on another, yet-to-be-announced film, which she calls an author-backed role that will be challenging for her as an actor.
