The Priyadarshan directorial Haiwaan, starring Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, has officially been cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) ahead of its September 11 theatrical release.
- CBFC Certificate: UA 16+ (issued September 8, 2026)
- Runtime: 2 hours, 44 minutes, and 7 seconds (164 minutes)
- Release Date: September 11, 2026
- Director: Priyadarshan
- Cast: Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Boman Irani, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Saiyami Kher, Sharib Hashmi
Producers: Venkat K. Narayana and Shailaja Desai Fenn (KVN Productions & Thespian Films)
The film brings Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan back together on screen after 17-18 years (since Tashan, 2008).
- It is said to be a remake of Priyadarshan’s own 2016 Malayalam film Oppam.
- The UA 16+ rating places the film for audiences aged 16 and above.
- Per Bollywood Hungama’s exclusive report, the CBFC asked for a few verbal modifications (no visual cuts) — a word was replaced with “Kamina,” a derogatory term replaced with “Girlfriend,” and another sentence replaced with “Dimaag ki vaat laga ke rakh di.”
- The nearly 2 hour 45 minute runtime gives Priyadarshan considerable room to unfold the thriller narrative.
