Akshay Kumar Wishes Saif Ali Khan On Birthday With A Haiwaan Warning

Akshay Kumar had a rather intriguing birthday message for Saif Ali Khan this year. The actor shared a special video featuring Saif and wished his longtime co-star with a playful warning connected to their upcoming film Haiwaan. Rather than keeping things simple, Akshay used the occasion to tease fans about the dark thriller that will bring the two actors together on the big screen after nearly two decades.

Sharing the video, Akshay wrote, “Happy Birthday, Saif. Have a great one… while you can. Kyunki #Haiwaan aa raha hai.” The cheeky message immediately adds a sinister twist to the birthday wish, especially with the film’s title suggesting that something dangerous is waiting just around the corner.

The 28-second video features Saif lighting a birthday candle, while text on the screen reads “Mera hero hai woh” and “Happy Birthday Saif.” As the video progresses, the mood takes a darker turn with the words “From Haiwaan”, before the film's poster appears at the end. The playful birthday tribute therefore doubles up as a clever promotional glimpse of the highly anticipated thriller.

Haiwaan marks the reunion of Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan after 18 years, making their collaboration one of the film's biggest attractions. Directed by Priyadarshan, the movie is a Hindi adaptation of his 2016 Malayalam thriller Oppam. Akshay is set to take on a dangerous negative role, while Saif plays the protagonist, setting up a potentially intense clash between the two actors.

The film is being produced by KVN Productions and Thespian Films and is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on September 11, 2026. With Priyadarshan returning to a story built around suspense and action, and Akshay and Saif facing off for the first time in years, Haiwaan has already generated considerable curiosity among moviegoers.

Akshay’s birthday post has now added another layer of intrigue to the film’s promotional campaign. What begins as a warm birthday wish quickly turns into a warning that something dangerous is coming. And with Akshay himself declaring that “Haiwaan aa raha hai,” fans now have another reason to look forward to September 11.
