Summary
- Akshay Kumar plays a psychopath in Priyadarshan's 'Haiwaan'.
- Actor drew insights from police friends for realistic portrayal.
- Film set for September 11 release with Saif Ali Khan.
Akshay Kumar will be portraying a psychopath in director Priyadarshan's upcoming film, 'Haiwaan', a departure from his typical roles. Kumar discussed his preparation for this challenging antagonist part during an appearance on 'Kaun Banega Crorepati'.
He revealed that insights from friends in the police force significantly shaped his understanding of the character. These conversations highlighted how real-life psychopaths often appear normal and blend in, a stark contrast to common cinematic exaggerations.
Priyadarshan encouraged Kumar to adopt an understated approach, focusing on internal presence rather than overt expressions. This resulted in a portrayal where Kumar remains quiet, allowing Saif Ali Khan's character to drive the dialogue.
'Haiwaan' is slated for release on September 11, bringing Kumar and Ali Khan together in contrasting roles.
