Actress Saiyami Kher is all set to share screen space with Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar in the upcoming film Haiwaan, directed by veteran filmmaker Priyadarshan. But for Saiyami, this isn’t just another professional milestone — it’s a full-circle moment.
Having grown up watching Akshay Kumar’s films, Saiyami credits him as one of the biggest influences behind her commitment to fitness and disciplined living. Known for balancing acting with athletics and endurance sports, she has long admired Akshay’s lifestyle — one built on consistency, hard work, and physical well-being.
Now, working alongside him feels surreal.
Akshay Kumar’s reputation as Bollywood’s “OG Khiladi” goes beyond action cinema. His dedication to health, early routines, and sports-driven mindset has inspired generations.
Saiyami, who has consistently integrated sports into her personal and professional life, found a natural connection with him on the sets of Haiwaan. The two were frequently seen engaging in fitness activities and casual sports between shoots — strengthening a bond that extended beyond the script.
Fans recently caught a glimpse of this camaraderie when Saiyami shared a light-hearted video of the duo playing a game together — a moment that quickly won hearts online.
Speaking about the experience, Saiyami expressed deep admiration for Akshay — not just for his fitness but for his grounded nature and generosity.
She highlighted how his discipline, commitment to health, and respect for his roots continue to define his journey. Particularly inspiring to her is his support for stunt performers — a reflection of his enduring connection to the industry’s backbone.
Working with him has reinforced her belief that sustained success is built on consistency and dedication.
With Priyadarshan’s storytelling vision and Akshay Kumar’s high-energy presence, Haiwaan promises more than just cinematic spectacle. It brings together performers who share a real-life passion for discipline, sport, and perseverance.
For Saiyami, the project represents growth, inspiration, and the joy of working alongside someone who unknowingly shaped her path long before they shared a frame.
And if their off-screen chemistry is anything to go by, audiences can expect something truly dynamic when Haiwaan hits the big screen.
