Akshay Kumar Calls Haiwaan Co-Star Saif Ali Khan's Humour ‘Very SoBo': ‘Mera Andheri Ke Aage…'
Akshay Kumar opened up about reuniting with Saif Ali Khan in Priyadarshan's Haiwaan, 17 years after Tashan. He called Saif a very funny guy! Akshay Kumar has an exciting line-up of films, including Priyadarshan's Bhooth Bangla, Hera Pheri 3, and others. He is also set to star in Priyadarshan's next film titled 'Haiwaan', which also stars Saif Ali Khan. This film marks Akshay and Saif's on-screen reunion 17 years after the film Tashan. Days after the director announced the film on social media, Akshay Kumar has now opened up about the project, expressing his excitement to work with Saif after so many years. Akshay Kumar called Saif Ali Khan a funny guy and pointed out a major difference in their sense of humour. He said Saif's is more 'SoBo' (South Bombay), while his own sense of humour reflects Mumbai's suburbs Andheri and Borivali. While speaking with Hindustan Times about reuniting with Saif Ali Khan in Haiwaan, Akshay Kumar said, 'It's great that I am working again with Priyadarshan ji. And the best part is that I'm working with Saif Ali Khan again. After a long time, we are both going to come together. I am actually waiting to start shooting with him. And he is also a very funny guy. But farak ye hai uska jo humour hai wo bohot hi SoBo hai. Bohot hi South Bombay hai. Aur mera jo hai, wo Andheri Borivali ke side se jaake aage tak jaata hai. Toh dono ka humour jo hai bilkul hi alag hai. (But the difference is that his humour is very SoBo — very South Bombay. And mine is more like it starts from Andheri, goes through Borivali, and beyond. So both our styles of humour are completely different). But it's going to be so much fun shooting with him." Akshay Kumar will reportedly take on the role of the villain in Haiwaan. When asked about the film's title, the actor jokingly said, 'This is something that was written in my destiny. First, I did a film called Insaan. Then after that, I did Jaanwar. Now I'm doing Haiwaan. So the trilogy is complete — Insaan, Jaanwar, Haiwaan." However, he laughed it off and added, 'It's not something that was planned this way." As per reports, Haiwaan is the Hindi remake of the 2016 Malayalam film Oppam, which originally starred Mohanlal. On July 15, filmmaker Priyadarshan took to his Instagram to share a picture featuring Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar from the India versus England Test match at Lord's Cricket Stadium in London. The photo shows Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan enjoying a candid moment together while watching the match. Priyadarshan wrote, ''Haiwaan' my next film with @akshaykumar and and Saif Ali Khan at Lords." The film will reportedly go on floors in August this year, and will likely release in 2026. This marks the first collaboration between Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan in 17 years, following their last outing together in the 2008 film Tashan. Previously, they have collaborated on several hit films including the cult classic Main Khiladi Tu Anari (1994), Yeh Dillagi (1994), Tu Chor Main Sipahi (1996), and Keemat (1998).

Vidya Balan recalls doing an intimate scene with an actor who had Chinese and didn't brush: 'Do you not have a partner?'
Vidya Balan has just completed 20 years in the industry. The actress made her debut with 'Parineeta' which starred her opposite Saif Ali Khan and Sanjay Dutt. In a recent interview, the actress was asked if she's got any practical advice as an actor or things that she takes care of before every scene or a making an appearance. The actress responded and said that as women, generally one takes care of their teeth, nose, basic hygiene and how they're smelling. But that reminded her of an old incident. She said during this chat with The Hollywood Reporter India, "I've had an actor who had chinese, he didn't brush and I had an intimate scene with him." She further laughed, "I said in my head, 'do you not have a partner?' I didn't offer mints, I was too new, too scared." In the same interview, Vidya spoke about not being insecure as an actor and being quite optimistic always. She said, "I think I am shamelessly optimistic. I have so much self-belief. I have put myself out there at my biggest and not batted an eyelid. I've had people tell me I should work on myself, that I should shed weight. But I actually believe there is nothing wrong with me. And I think that is a great attitude because it helped me sail through. I was still playing the lead, so I don't think those kinds of insecurities have ever weighed me down." The actress further spoke about her current state of mind and said, "For the first time in my life, I am not experiencing stress. Knowingly or unknowingly, we go through a lot of stress. I am enjoying this period. I am reading scripts, meeting people, and I have decided on two films. Unfortunately, I am not able to talk about it right now."
