Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan's Haiwaan set for Sept 11, 2026

The much-anticipated thriller "Haiwaan," starring Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, will be released in cinemas worldwide on September 11, 2026. The film marks a major on-screen reunion for the two actors and is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Priyadarshan.

Production banner KVN Productions, in association with Thespian Films, announced the release date on social media, sharing a poster with the tagline, "One obsession. One relentless pursuit. One date you'll want to remember." The film is described as an edge-of-the-seat thriller and also features Shriya Pilgaonkar and Saiyami Kher in key supporting roles. It is produced by Venkat K. Narayana and Shailaja Desai Fenn.

"Haiwaan" is the official Hindi remake of Priyadarshan's 2016 Malayalam hit "Oppam." The director has reworked the screenplay and dialogues for the new adaptation. The story follows a visually impaired caretaker, played by Saif Ali Khan, who becomes entangled in a murder mystery and must fight to prove his innocence. In a notable departure from his typical roles, Akshay Kumar portrays the film's antagonist, setting up a dramatic confrontation between the two stars.

The project continues the successful partnership...
