The trailer of 'Haiwaan', starring Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, has been released. Times of India reports that Akshay Kumar plays a menacing character called Haiwaan while Saif Ali Khan plays a blind man in this dark thriller directed by Priyadarshan. The film marks their first collaboration in 18 years, since 'Tashan' (2008).
Times Now reports that 'Haiwaan' is an official adaptation of Priyadarshan's 2016 Malayalam thriller 'Oppam', which starred Mohanlal as a blind lift operator. Priyadarshan has said the Hindi version retains the soul of 'Oppam' but adapts the story for a Hindi-speaking audience. Mohanlal is reportedly making a special appearance in the remake.
The film also stars Boman Irani, Saiyami Kher, Shriya Pilgaonkar and others. 'Haiwaan' is scheduled to release in cinemas worldwide on September 11, 2026.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources report the same facts neutrally. Times Now offers a detailed recap of 'Oppam's plot and the differences in the adaptation, while Times of India focuses on the trailer's visuals and the star reunion. The key distinction is that Times Now leads with the adaptation context, framing 'Haiwaan' as a remake, whereas Times of India leads with the trailer release and actor dynamics. Neither source adopts a critical or political stance. The film's September 2026 release date is the concrete next step for audiences.
