Actress Saiyami Kher is all set to star opposite Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar in Priyadarshan’s much anticipated film Haiwaan. For Saiyami, the project is more than just another big banner collaboration. It marks a full circle moment, as Akshay has long been one of her biggest inspirations when it comes to fitness, discipline and lifestyle.

Akshay Kumar is widely regarded as one of the fittest and most disciplined stars in the industry. His commitment to health, early morning routines, sports and action driven cinema has influenced generations of actors and fans alike. Saiyami, who is known for championing fitness and sports in her own career, feels that working alongside him brings together two performers who share similar values.

The camaraderie between the duo extended beyond the camera. On the sets of Haiwaan, Akshay and Saiyami were often seen bonding over sports and fitness activities. Saiyami recently shared a light hearted video of the two playing a game together, which quickly won over fans who appreciated their easy chemistry and shared passion for an active lifestyle.

Speaking about the experience, Saiyami said, “I grew up watching Akshay sir’s films, and he was the original film star who inspired me in my own fitness journey. His discipline, lifestyle and the way he prioritises health have always been a huge inspiration to me. To now stand alongside him in Priyadarshan sir’s Haiwaan feels very exciting. What I admire most is that beyond being known as the fittest star in Bollywood, he always remembers his roots. He gives back and takes care of stuntmen like no one else. As someone who believes in integrating sports and fitness into my career choices, working with him has taught me so much. He is who he is because of his hard work, discipline and commitment. It’s truly admirable.”

With Priyadarshan’s direction and Akshay Kumar’s signature energy, Haiwaan is shaping up to be a powerful cinematic offering. For Saiyami, it is also a meaningful milestone, blending admiration, learning and collaboration into one exciting chapter.
