Director Priyadarshan says his first collaboration with actor Saif Ali Khan on the psychological thriller *Haiwaan* has been positive. In comments reported by outlets, Priyadarshan praises Saif’s approach to playing a visually challenged main character, describing him as having maturity and professionalism on set.
Times of India adds more detail on Priyadarshan’s experience directing Saif for the first time, saying Saif is obedient and that their creative coordination develops quickly. The outlet also quotes Priyadarshan describing Saif as a “mature child” and references Saif’s routine during downtime, including reading books.
NDTV focuses more narrowly on Priyadarshan’s character and performance-related comments, emphasizing Saif’s handling of the role tied to visual impairment. Both accounts frame the director’s remarks as recognition of Saif’s conduct during filming rather than changes to the film’s production or storyline. Sources also note the film’s scheduled release date as September 11.
