The film went on floors today in Kochi, and will be shot across Ooty and Mumbai. Haiwaan marks the much-awaited reunion of Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar, over 17 years after Tashan. Akshay Kumar took to his social media handle to share the exciting news with his fans on social media. He shared a video that captured his fun banter with Saif Ali Khan. In the video, Akshay is seen holding the clapboard while Saif Ali Khan and director Priyadarshan engage with him in playful banter.

He accompanied the video with a caption that read, “Hum sab hi hain thode se shaitaan…Koi upar se Saint, koi andar se Haiwaan :)) Starting the shoot for #Haiwaan today with my absolute favourite captain of the ship, @priyadarshan.official Sir. Great to be working with Saif after nearly 18 years.
