Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar, who scored back-to-back successes with Bhooth Bangla and Welcome To The Jungle, will next be seen in the thriller Haiwaan. Once again, Akshay has joined hands with Priyadarshan for this film, which also stars Saif Ali Khan.
Akshay plays the antagonist in Haiwaan, and the teaser was dropped today. Speaking to Hindustan Times, Akshay revealed that his role doesn’t feature any grey shades. “As the title goes, I am playing Haiwaan, and my character has no grey shades, he’s out and out evil. I always wanted to play a psycho on-screen,” said Akshay.
He added, “With my last four or five films, I have tried to switch between completely different genres: comedy, horror, action, drama. This is my first time playing evil in the truest sense. I like to constantly challenge myself, and Haiwaan is that challenge for me.”
Priyadarshan casually narrated the story to Akshay one day, knowing he would not do it, but to the legendary director’s surprise, Akshay asked him if he could do it. Priyadarshan feels that Haiwaan features a different Akshay Kumar.
