Akshay Kumar and Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis shared an engaging moment on the first day of this year’s FICCI Frames in Mumbai. During their talk, Akshay asked if Bollywood should make a film on cybercrime, and the CM quickly agreed.
The mood turned light when Akshay mentioned his upcoming film Haiwaan, where he plays a negative role. Hearing this, Fadnavis burst into laughter. Akshay clarified that his character faces defeat in the end, which made the moment even more fun.
Fadnavis praised Akshay’s versatility and said he should explore all kinds of roles. He also added that sometimes villains leave a stronger mark than heroes. Still, he humorously urged Akshay to remain the hero audiences love.
Akshay’s next with director Priyadarshan, Haiwaan, has already started shooting. The film is said to be a faithful remake of Oppam, aimed at Hindi audiences. Fans are thrilled to see Akshay face off against Saif Ali Khan on screen.
The makers are keeping most details under wraps for now. The first look and promotional content will reveal what’s in store. Given Akshay’s past hits with Priyadarshan, you can expect a big box-office buzz once Haiwaan hits theatres next year.
