Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan Reunite for New Thriller ‘Haiwaan’

Bollywood superstars Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan are teaming up on the big screen for the first time in 18 years. The duo will star in an upcoming suspense thriller titled Haiwaan, directed by veteran filmmaker Priyadarshan.

The film is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on September 11, 2026.

Cast and Production Details:

While specific plot lines are still under wraps, the movie is described as a high-stakes, edge-of-the-seat thriller. Alongside the two male leads, the film features prominent roles for actresses Shriya Pilgaonkar and Saiyami Kher.

Haiwaan is being jointly produced by Venkat K Narayana and Shailaja Desai Fenn under the banners of KVN Productions and Thespian Films.

A Highly Anticipated Comeback:

This project marks a major milestone for fans of 90s cinema. Akshay and Saif previously delivered massive hits together, including Main Khiladi Tu Anari and Yeh Dillagi, last sharing the screen in 2008’s Tashan.

By shifting away from their typical comedy styles into a serious thriller format under Priyadarshan’s direction, the film is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases of late 2026.
