A Dream Collaboration Comes Full Circle
Actor Saiyami Kher is all set to share screen space with Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar in director Priyadarshan’s upcoming film Haiwaan.
For Saiyami, however, this project is far more than just another addition to her filmography. In fact, it represents a full-circle moment. Over the years, she has repeatedly acknowledged Akshay Kumar as one of her biggest fitness inspirations while growing up. Now, she finds herself working alongside the very star who shaped her outlook on discipline and health.
Fitness, Discipline and a Shared Philosophy
Undoubtedly, Akshay Kumar is regarded as one of the fittest and most disciplined actors in Bollywood. Not only has he maintained a strict lifestyle, but he has also consistently promoted sports, wellness and action-driven cinema. As a result, he has inspired generations of fans and aspiring actors alike.
Similarly, Saiyami Kher has built her identity around athleticism and an active lifestyle. Whether through her film choices or personal journey, she has strongly advocated for sports and fitness.
Therefore, their collaboration in Haiwaan feels organic. Both actors believe in hard work, routine and physical well-being. According to insiders, this shared philosophy has created a natural and powerful on-screen synergy.
Camaraderie Beyond the Camera
Interestingly, their bond extends beyond scripted scenes. During breaks on the sets of Haiwaan, Saiyami and Akshay were often seen engaging in sports and fitness activities together.
Moreover, Saiyami recently shared a light-hearted video of them playing a game. The clip quickly went viral, with fans praising their easy camaraderie. Clearly, their off-screen connection has only strengthened audience excitement for the film.
Saiyami on Working With the ‘OG Khiladi’
Reflecting on the experience, Saiyami expressed both gratitude and admiration. She revealed that she grew up watching Akshay Kumar’s films and deeply admired his disciplined lifestyle.
“I grew up watching Akshay sir’s films. He was the OG film star who inspired my fitness journey. His discipline and the way he prioritizes health have always motivated me,” she shared.
Furthermore, she described standing alongside him in Priyadarshan’s Haiwaan as both exciting and surreal.
In addition, Saiyami praised Akshay for staying grounded despite his massive success. She highlighted his commitment to giving back and caring for stunt performers — a quality she greatly respects. According to her, his achievements stem from relentless hard work, discipline and consistency.
What to Expect From Haiwaan
With Priyadarshan at the helm and Akshay Kumar leading the charge, Haiwaan is already generating significant buzz. The film promises gripping storytelling, high-energy action sequences and strong performances.
