Meanwhile, the makers of 'Haiwaan' recently unveiled the teaser of the film, which offers a dark and cryptic glimpse into the psychological action thriller.
The preview opened with the silhouette of Saif Ali Khan's character, who is revealed to be visually impaired. He was shown navigating with a walking stick and wearing a specialised watch for the blind. His face, like those of the other key characters, remains concealed, adding to the teaser's deliberately mysterious visual language.
As the background music intensifies, a second silhouette introduces Akshay Kumar's character. He was seen walking menacingly and is accompanied by a chilling, sinister laugh, signalling a potentially dangerous presence at the heart of the story.
The teaser also included a brief glimpse of a bloody hand, hinting at violence and the high-stakes conflict surrounding the characters. The central promotional line captures the contrast between the characters, "One sees everything, One misses nothing. He hears the danger... I AM the danger! Hero ya Haiwaan?"
The film also stars Boman Irani, Saiyami Kher and Shriya Pilgaonkar in pivotal roles. It is produced by Venkat K Narayana and Shailaja Desai Fenn under KVN Productions and Thespian Films. (ANI)
