Bollywood has a new talking point, and it is all about — Priyadarshan calls Haiwaan “the beginning of a new chapter”: “I think a thriller has a scope”.

The Story So Far
Add as a preferred source on Google After years of making comedy-driven captures, Priyadarshan is returning to serious silver major screen with Haiwaan, which he describes as the beginning of a fresh chapter in his career. The filmmaker, who started with captures like Gardish and Virasat, shares his trajectory changed after Hera Pheri pulled him towards comedy.
Speaking about his decision to make Haiwaan, Priyadarshan said, “Haiwaan is the beginning of a fresh chapter for me, I started with serious captures like Gardish, Virasat, but after Hera Pheri, I was pulled into this track of comedy captures, I need a break so I thought of this movie and I was very confident that this kind of a movie will be very well accepted today because what I found very interesting is the reason behind of success of Bhoot Bangla, there were so many captures which are too serious like Dhurandhar, Border 2, and Bhoot Bangla came as a sudden relief, because people like to watch different kinds of movies at different times, so now I feel that people have been continuously watching a lot of comedy oriented captures so I think a thriller has a scope.” Starring Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan alongside Boman Irani, Saiyami Kher, Shriya Pilgaonkar and an ensemble cast, Haiwaan commits to a dark and atmospheric thriller we can't wait to watch in cinemas next week.
Directed by Priyadarshan, Haiwaan is backed by KVN Productions and Thespian captures by Venkat K. Narayana and Shailaja Desai Fenn. The movie releases worldwide in cinemas on September 11, 2026.
