Haiwaan: Akshay's Next Crime Thriller Eyes Top Profit Spot
8 Sep
Summary
- Haiwaan requires ₹133 crore net collection to rank in Akshay's top three.
- The film needs a 16.47% return on investment to surpass Aankhen.
- A massive ₹80 crore pre-release non-theatrical deal has been secured.
Akshay Kumar's crime thriller, Haiwaan, is on track to potentially become one of his most profitable ventures in the genre. To achieve a place in the actor's top three most profitable crime thrillers, the film must secure a domestic box office collection of ₹133 crore.
This financial target necessitates a 16.47% return on investment for Haiwaan. Should it succeed, it would surpass the profitability of Vipul Amrutlal Shah's heist film Aankhen, which previously held a strong position. Aankhen was produced on a budget of ₹15 crore and earned ₹17.47 crore at the box office.
Akshay Kumar's most profitable crime thriller to date is Rustom, which garnered ₹127.42 crore on a ₹50 crore budget. Haiwaan, with an estimated production cost between ₹100 crore and ₹115 crore, carries a higher financial burden due to its scale and star power.
Despite the increased production costs, Haiwaan's pre-release non-theatrical deal of ₹80 crore provides a significant financial cushion. The film's success is anticipated, leveraging the collaboration between director Priyadarshan, co-star Saif Ali Khan, and Akshay Kumar's compelling performance.
