Haiwaan Official Teaser | Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan | Priyadarshan | REACTION!!
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The video features a reaction and discussion of the teaser trailer for the upcoming film *Haiwaan*, directed by Priyadarshan and starring Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan. The hosts express excitement about the project, noting that it appears to be a comedy based on the director's reputation, though they remain open to the possibility that it could be a serious drama. A significant point of interest for the viewers is the casting of Akshay Kumar as a blind martial artist who protects a young girl from a psychopathic killer. The hosts praise both actors for their versatility, acknowledging Saif Ali Khan's strong comedic background while expressing particular enthusiasm for seeing Akshay Kumar take on a dramatic villainous role, which would be a departure from his usual characters.
The discussion delves into the film's cast and crew, highlighting the director Priyadarshan's extensive filmography with over 80 titles, mostly comedies, and noting that this project might showcase a different side of his directing style. The hosts also analyze the supporting cast, mentioning actress Moanalisha as a pleasant surprise and discussing the background of other actors like Savani Kumar, whose family has a rich history in Indian modeling and acting. There is a brief comparison drawn between Akshay Kumar's character and Kane from the *John Wick* universe, another blind martial artist played by Donnie Yen, to illustrate how such roles are executed effectively when grounded in legitimate skill rather than mere imitation.
A major theme of the conversation revolves around the importance of originality in acting, specifically warning against trying to mimic iconic performances like Heath Ledger's Joker or Daniel Day-Lewis's characters. The hosts argue that while fans appreciate great acting, attempting to copy famous portrayals often results in a failed impression rather than a believable character. They emphasize that successful actors must distance themselves from their own knowledge of previous roles to create something unique and authentic, a challenge they believe is crucial for the success of this new film.
Despite some humorous banter about celebrating September 11th and watching footage of hurricanes, the overall tone of the video is one of anticipation for the movie's release on September 11th. The hosts conclude that with a stellar cast and a renowned director, they are eager to see how the story unfolds in the upcoming trailer. They encourage their audience to share their thoughts and excitement in the comments section, reinforcing their channel's identity as a place dedicated to discussing the wackiest and funniest films on earth while maintaining a critical eye on acting choices and character development.

Sorry. Well, anytime I see that uh Bush
did 911, by the way, did in case you
didn't know that. Why? What's this
about?
>> All right, so Sartoage is remember when
we used to call him Sarttoage
>> all the time cuz that's all we knew him
as.
>> If you didn't know that our introduction
to Safe Ali Khan was sacred games,
>> I believe. Actually, it might. I don't
think so. Actually, I think it was uh
wasn't he at Dolatai?
>> Maybe. Maybe.
>> Is he our first appreciation, not
introduction?
>> No, I think we did Omara.
>> Was he in Data High? No, that's a
mirror. And
>> I don't know that we did Omara before
Sacred Games.
>> Yes, Cypes touch. We did. We did Omar.
Uh [snorts]
>> we did Omar the four sacred games.
>> I could be wrong. You guys let me know.
I think we did Dilat the high and at
least Omara. I believe we we went
through Vashall's quickly.
>> Well,
for us he became most known as being
Sartage.
>> Yeah.
>> Which for all of you that's not the
case.
>> So he is blind here. And
>> is this his first film since the breakin
when he nearly died?
>> No, I don't think so.
>> No, I don't think so. I could be wrong.
Um, and then Ash is laughing behind a
screen for some reason.
>> Yeah, he's in the water. He's getting
ready to jump out of the water.
>> All right, let's see here.
>> I am I like the fact that I was
expecting to be truly I thought it might
be just another wacky comedy, but a
blind martial artist protects a
girlchild from a psychopath killer.
>> Is a psychopathic killer?
That's awesome.
That's awesome. Okay. Have we seen
because if you guys don't know one, we
appreciate both these actors actually.
We we think Ash and Scythe are very
talented actors for both actually. I
think Ash is stronger in comedy of
course.
>> And as much as I was joking about the
most recent comedy things, the majority
of Ash's comedy stuff we love.
>> Yeah.
>> But we've seen we think Ox is actually a
very versatile actor.
>> Very ex He can do everything.
>> Uh he's a very good dramatic actor. very
good dramatic actor. Um, and he's also
really funny.
>> He's a hilarious guy.
>> Hilariously funny.
>> I have we seen him play a villain? I
We've seen Scythe play a villain,
>> but it doesn't look like he's playing
the villain here.
>> No,
>> I don't Am I wrong? Have we seen Ash
play a villain before?
>> Trying to rack my brain with it. I don't
I don't. But that's exciting regardless
because
>> um yeah, I love I love this idea.
>> As long as it's obviously done correctly
and not like actually he's trying to be
the Joker,
>> right?
>> That would be bad.
>> But obviously we'll wait to actually see
the trailer.
>> Yeah. If he takes a legitimate take on
it as well as I mean the moment you say
blind martial artist,
>> I can't help it. And it doesn't mean you
can't tell stories about blind martial
artists, but I'm I'm going to the John
Wick universe and the
>> who's blind in the predominant um what's
the character name? Dog gone it. Um
>> hold on, let me tell you cuz it's going
to drive me crazy. You all know it.
You've already written it down in the
comments here. Um
>> I've forgotten most of those movies.
>> I'll know it the minute I see it. Um and
they're making a spin-off,
>> The Ballerina,
>> of of his character. Um,
no it's not him. Where is he?
>> Who's the blind guy in John Wick?
>> Kane. That's it.
>> Okay.
>> Kane.
>> Played by Donnie Yen.
>> So Kane is the blind, you know, if you
know the John Wick universe. So he's
he's fantastic. He's he's exceptional in
that role and he's a legit martial
artist. I don't know how much martial I
know most action guys get martial
artistry background. I know Ash has
legitimate martial artist.
>> He looks like he's a villain though.
>> Yeah, he does. So I wonder I would love
to know how much prep and how much uh
>> also look at this cast. I don't know if
it's true.
safe aka
moanlani
>> uh and then some other people that we
know. But I have Moanal and Bumman if
they're still in it.
>> I expected Bumman to appear, but it's to
see Moanal in there is a really neat
little surprise.
>> That's fun. Um
>> where are the ladies? Do we know any
ladies in this cast?
>> Her name looks familiar.
>> Savani K. Any relationship to Anna Pal?
Um, maybe not. I don't know.
I don't recognize her.
Goonar. Goonar. That's That's Rick
Gooner.
>> Say, "Yummy." [laughter]
>> Says, "Uh, Sammy Car is an Indian
actress who primarily works in Hindi and
Tugu."
>> Pause. Choked.
I don't think we've seen her.
>> Yeah. Let's see.
>> I like her eyes though. She has nice
eyes.
>> Uh, no. Her her father Adviet K was a
model. Mother
>> anam
>> wow mother won the feminimist India
pageant. So she's got
>> two apparently very attractive modeling
and beauty pageent
>> nepatism
>> granddaughter of actress Usha Karen and
the niece of actress Tanviasmi.
>> Uh and this is the pre-adarian right?
>> It is. Yeah that's the pre-adarian.
>> Yeah. Uh, have we seen anything not
comedy from him?
>> 88 titles in directing, by the way.
>> Wow.
>> Jesus Christ.
>> Wow.
>> That's a lot of titles.
>> Okay, let me see. Uh, he was the Yeah,
that's a comedy.
He might have done the
>> He has probably has. We just have not
seen it. We've only known him from
>> comedy. I'm trying to see because I know
his name, but I feel like it's all from
>> He has a movie called Katamita. That's
awesome.
>> Dan, Dan, Dan. Yeah, we saw Oh, Belu.
>> Oh, well, you're fun in SRK.
>> Yes.
>> So, yeah, we've seen that one. Great
movie, by the way.
>> Yeah.
>> Bullen the I think he's the original
director, too. [snorts]
>> Uh, from the Molly one,
>> Gur Masala, director, comedy again.
>> Wow.
>> Films. Hell yeah. Her Perry.
>> Um,
did he do the original? I feel like he
did the original.
>> I don't remember the original title
because it's not something I can easily
pronounce.
>> Yeah, I feel like he did. Anyways,
>> but I like that trailer by the way. That
teaser was very cool.
>> My only concern is and it's um I'm sure
we'll get it sorted out in the trailer
is that because obvious when I I was
really obsessed with The Dark Knight
when it came out. Uh I saw it nine times
in theaters.
>> What a shock.
>> But the promotion of it, if you
remember, the Joker was behind a glass
thing, right?
>> Yes. And he's he's holding his bank
robbery mask in his hand, right?
>> Yeah. Well, yeah. There was quite a few
promotions, posters, iconic posters, by
the way.
>> Yes. Very.
>> And so I that's immediate what my mind
goes to. So anytime you see somebody's
playing a psychopath, I'm like, "Okay,
just do your own thing. Don't try to be
the Joker because that will always come
off."
>> Correct. You never I know we say it a
lot, but I maybe people that aren't
actors or in the industry don't see it
as much like it's just you can do your
own thing and people appreciate it, but
the minute you're like I see you trying
to be the Joker or be Brando and the
Godfather, [clears throat]
>> it's like you just come off as an
impression and that doesn't work in
movies. No, because the objective is to
be believable and be an actual
character.
>> And the moment you start to put on
another character, you're not being
believable. That's why among many
reasons Haqen's Joker is so beautiful
because he doesn't touch
>> Heath. You don't need to. It's one of
the reasons I like to in my acting
family in workspace, I like to do things
that I know really, really well that
were done by other actors cuz that's a
challenge all on its own. Like I did
Silence of the Lambs. M
>> I had to distance myself from Hannibal
Lectar that I know I'm about to do
Phantom Thread, which is Daniel D.
Lewis, and myself from Daniel. That's a
that is a challenge as an actor that you
you need to embody it as your own thing.
That's tough cuz we're so malleable and
we love to impersonate.
>> It's like imagine trying to do your own
Captain Jack.
>> I wouldn't.
>> Right. How [snorts] hard would that be
incredible
>> to create your own version of Captain
Jack?
>> No. Yeah. I
>> It'd be It's so hard. No, that that a
character is so iconic.
>> Yeah. Um but yeah, so like I'm not
saying he he's gonna do an impression.
That's just my only concern so far. But
that I I don't even know if those scenes
of him behind the glass or even in the
movie if that was just for like the the
teaser,
>> right?
>> Um and so when the trailer comes out
soon,
>> uh
>> I got to say I'm looking forward to
this.
>> Looking forward to it. Obviously got a
good director. You got a stellar cast
here. I'm looking forward to seeing Ash
in a villain role. That's great. Yes.
>> Um, so hopefully it turns out it's on
September 11th. I usually like to
celebrate privately, but maybe we can
make an exception here.
>> Uh, celebrate. [laughter]
>> Is that the word you want to use for
that?
>> We're going to I've never anybody hear
anything about We're going to celebrate
911.
>> Bush did 911.
>> Wow. We're going to celebrate 911.
>> No, no, no. I like to celebrate
privately. Uh the the there are some
people on the planet that do celebrate
9/11 privately. I don't know you
[laughter] want to be associated with
them, but that's okay. Corin will be
watching 911 footage with popcorn.
[laughter]
Anyways, let us know what you thought
about this, if you're excited for this,
and anything else we need to know down
below.
>> The biggest, the [music] baddest,
wackiest, funniest, filmiest show on
earth.
