Summary

Saif Ali Khan has shed light on the physically demanding action sequences for his upcoming film, Haiwaan. Directed by Priyadarshan, the movie features Khan as a visually impaired martial arts expert. He described one intense scene involving his character being attacked before retaliating, noting its raw and violent nature.
The actor emphasized that the action was filmed with minimal fakery, eschewing special effects and stunt doubles. This approach, involving broken glass and physical altercations, proved to be utterly exhausting for Khan, requiring him to rest for two days post-filming. The sequence did not rely on CGI or harness-based stunts, making it a purely raw display of action.
Haiwaan also signifies a reunion for Saif Ali Khan with Akshay Kumar after 18 years, with Priyadarshan helming the project. Other cast members include Boman Irani, Sayami Kher, and Shriya Pilgaonkar. The film is scheduled to premiere in cinemas on September 11.
