The Story in Brief
The teaser for Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan's film Haiwaan dropped on August 12, 2026. The 45-second clip has no dialogue and does not show the actors' faces, only silhouettes and moody shots. It establishes Saif's character as blind and Akshay's as the titular monster. Director Priyadarshan has earned praise for keeping the teaser restrained. The film, a remake of the Malayalam thriller Oppam, releases in cinemas on September 11. It also stars Boman Irani, Saiyami Kher, and Shriya Pilgaonkar.
The Indian Opinion
The fan buzz around Akshay playing a pure villain is understandable after his long comedy run. But some are already calling this a comeback, while others complain the teaser reveals too little. The truth is that a 45-second clip without dialogue is meant only to tease. The real test will be whether Priyadarshan can use Akshay's star power to make an unambiguously evil character compelling for two hours. Can the film avoid the usual redemption arc?
