Actress Saiyami Kher is gearing up to make her mark in filmmaker Priyadarshan’s upcoming action thriller “Haiwaan”, sharing the screen with Bollywood superstars Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan.
The shoot for the film has already kicked off in Kochi, and Saiyami says she feels both excited and grateful to be part of a project that “already feels so special.”
The film brings together Akshay and Saif after 17 years. Their last movie together was "Tashan" in 2008, also starring Saif’s wife Kareena Kapoor Khan.
Kher, who has to her credit films like "Mirzya", "Choked" and "Sharmajee Ki Beti", said she never imagined getting an opportunity to work with Akshay and Saif.
"Walking onto the set of Haiwaan has been overwhelming in the most beautiful way. I still remember being that little girl who sat wide-eyed in a theatre, watching Akshay sir redefine action or laughing endlessly at Saif sir’s effortless comic timing in films that became part of our growing-up years. Back then, I never imagined that one day I would actually be on a set with the very people whose films shaped my love for cinema," she said in a statement.

The "Ghoomer" actor added, "There are moments now, when I look around and have to remind myself this is real. These are the same faces I once watched from the audience, and today I’m sharing the frame with them. And then there is Priyan sir. For me, he’s not just a director, he’s a storyteller who has given us some of the most iconic films. To be guided by his vision, is something I will always carry with me. His films were a big part of why I fell in love with movies, and now, to be on his set, is like life coming full circle.”
"We’ve only just begun shooting, but I’m just soaking it all in, excitement, the nerves, the gratitude. My heart is full, and I feel incredibly blessed to be a small part of a film that already feels so special."
