Bollywood is buzzing with excitement as filmmaker Priyadarshan has officially announced that superstar Mohanlal will make a cameo in his upcoming film, Haiwaan. With Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan leading the cast, this project is already generating a lot of buzz, and Mohanlal's involvement has only added to the anticipation.
Priyadarshan shared that he doesn’t center his films around actors; instead, he allows the story to take the forefront. He mentioned that Mohanlal’s role in Haiwaan is deeply integrated into the script, but he kept the specifics under wraps. “The script comes first, then the casting,” he said, teasing that Lalettan’s part will be something special without giving too much away.
Haiwaan is reportedly inspired by Mohanlal’s 2016 Malayalam thriller, Oppam. Produced by Thespian Films and KVN Productions, this big-screen entertainer is set to hit theaters in 2026. Alongside Akshay and Saif, the film will also feature Samuthirakani, Sayami Kher, Shreya Pilgaonkar, Asrani, and Einar Haraldsson in significant roles.
