Summary
- Saif Ali Khan portrays a visually challenged hero for the first time.
- Mohanlal will make a special appearance in the thriller.
- The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on September 11.
Saif Ali Khan is set to star as a visually challenged protagonist in the forthcoming film Haiwaan, scheduled for a theatrical release on September 11. This marks a significant departure for the actor, who has expressed that it is one of the most "amazing" and sympathetic roles he has ever received.
Describing his character, Khan envisions an "Indian version of a blind samurai." The film, which also features Akshay Kumar, promises a gripping thriller narrative. Director Priyadarshan has confirmed a special appearance by Malayalam superstar Mohanlal, with whom Khan shared a positive working experience.
The film tested Khan, with each day presenting new challenges. He noted the character's sympathetic nature, a quality he feels he hasn't explored much in his career. Haiwaan is expected to showcase a more grounded and emotionally layered form of heroism, deviating from traditional Bollywood archetypes.
