Ace filmmaker Priyadarshan has officially stirred excitement across Indian cinema with a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse from the sets of his upcoming film Haiwaan. Sharing a photo on Instagram, he seemingly confirmed Mohanlal’s participation—an announcement that sent fans of the legendary duo into celebration mode. Captioned with heartfelt nostalgia and gratitude, Priyadarshan wrote: "Look at life and the way it turns... Here I am, on the shooting sets of HAIWAN, working with the son of one of my biggest cricket heroes and my favourite film icon. Truly, God is kind." It’s a collaboration layered with history, admiration, and cinematic promise.
The film has already generated massive buzz since the filmmaker revealed he would be working with Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar. With Akshay having wrapped up the final schedule this past October, anticipation has only grown. Now, Mohanlal’s apparent involvement elevates Haiwaan into an all-star ensemble that blends Malayalam, Bollywood, and pan-Indian fanbases. Saiyami Kher is also on board, adding further intrigue to a project that remains wrapped in secrecy regarding character roles and plot details.
Produced by KVN Productions and Thespian Films, along with Venkat K Narayana and Shailaja Desai Fenn, Haiwaan is shaping up to be one of the biggest cinematic events on the horizon. Though precise details of the story are being carefully guarded, the film’s scale, cast, and creative lineup hint at a high-energy, possibly high-octane drama that aims to push boundaries. Priyadarshan, known for his versatility—from comedy classics to intense dramas—seems ready to deliver something fresh, ambitious, and star-studded.
The makers are eyeing a grand 2026 release, giving fans plenty of time to speculate, hype, and eagerly count down. With Mohanlal, Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Priyadarshan crossing paths on a single project, Haiwaan is already roaring long before it reaches the big screen. One thing is clear: the wait may be long, but the payoff looks incredibly promising.
