Saiyami Kher: I learned a lot about clarity from working with Priyadarshan

Saiyami Kher: Working with Priyadarshan was a lesson in clarity, according to Saiyami Kher, who has finally concluded the Haiwaan shooting schedule.

“Priyadarshan’s Haiwaan has given me many firsts, my first film with Priyadarshan sir, Akshay sir, and Saif sir,” Saiyami said in an interview with IANS on working with Priyadarshan. I’ve never heard of this genre before. I’m thus very thrilled to be in this movie.

“Working with Priyadarshan sir was a lesson in clarity,” she said. Having directed 99 movies, this man’s background adds a great deal of poise and accuracy to the set. She said, “Watching someone who knows exactly what he wants, every single day, is amazing.”

Saiyami shared an emotional post from the film’s sets, which also features Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, on social media as she ended up the schedule.

She spoke candidly about her experience working with Saif Ali Khan, praising the actor’s natural ability to strike a balance between humor and passion.

“In between takes, Saif Sir is simply laughing nonstop. Stories that keep everyone entertained and a wicked sense of humor and a switch appears as soon as it says “Action.” “Focused, effortless, totally in the zone,” Saiyami said.

Saiyami praised Akshay Kumar and discussed the priceless lessons she learned from seeing the celebrity in action.

And lastly, sir Akshay! What a delight. His work ethic, discipline, and timeliness are unparalleled. I’ve never seen someone approach a set with such enthusiasm, joy, and total commitment. Being with him every day served as a reminder of what true professionalism looks like. Only when one works thus hard can a Khiladi emerge. He has so much to teach us,” she said.

The last collaboration between Saif and Akshay was on the critically acclaimed and commercially unsuccessful film “Tashan.”

Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar are now engaged on a project called “Bhoot Bangla.” It is anticipated that the horror drama would be released in late 2025. One of the most financially successful actor-director duos in Hindi cinema, Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan, reunite in the film.
