Actor Akshay Kumar’s upcoming film Haiwaan’s production is in full force as the cast gears up to deliver an entertainer. Akshay, who is known for his discipline, had maintained the same rigor on this film’s set, making sure the demanding schedule doesn’t impact him or his co-stars.

Actor Saiyami Kher, who is working with him for the first time, reveals what went between scenes of the Priyadarshan directorial and how her senior co-star’s love for fitness inspired everyone on sets.

Saiyami, who is also a cricketer, says, “The minute we had a break, Akshay would want to play some sport, either cricket, catch, table tennis or we would just invent a game!”

Keeping the atmosphere light and positive, Akshay also ensured that he would lead by example for his co-stars.

The 33-year-old says, “When we were shooting in Kochi, (Akshay) sir would swim everyday. His consistency is remarkable. For him, fitness isn’t separate from life; it’s just part of his routine and that was inspiring for everyone on sets.”

The film, which brings back Saif Ali Khan and Akshay on screen after almost 17 years, has been shot in Kochi and Mumbai. While the heavy schedules are over, the film is currently completing some patchwork.
