Made for Rs 7 crore, earned Rs 65 crore, Akshay Kumar's upcoming film is a remake of this 9-year-old blockbuster, actors are..., movie name is...

After a gap of 17 years, Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar are set to share screen space once again. According to reports, Priyadarshan will direct Haivan, with filming expected to begin in August. This time, Akshay will shed his hero image to play a menacing villain, while Saif will take on the role of a blind man — but one who's an expert in the ancient martial art, Kalari Payattu. Where have we seen this story before? Not many know that Haivan is the official Hindi remake of the 2016 Malayalam hit Oppam, also directed by Priyadarshan. Starring Mohanlal, the original was made on a modest budget of Rs 7 crore but went on to earn Rs 65 crore, becoming the third-highest-grossing Malayalam film of that year. The Hindi dubbed version, Prime Witness, had a limited theatrical run but received a positive response from audiences. What's the plot of Oppam? The story revolves around a retired judge trying to protect his daughter from a criminal he once sentenced. When the judge is murdered, his trusted aide, a visually impaired man, takes on the responsibility of safeguarding her from the killer. The film's gripping narrative earned it over 22 awards, including Best Film, Best Actor, and Best Director. It remains freely available on YouTube, where thousands have revisited its tense storytelling. Why is Haivan already in the buzz? With Priyadarshan reuniting with both Akshay and Saif, and with a proven hit story at its core, Haivan has all the makings of a high-stakes action thriller. The unusual character arcs, a blind martial arts expert and a ruthless antagonist promise something different from the usual Bollywood fare.

Johny Lever Says He Was A 'Drunkard', Would Drink Till 4 AM At Chowpatty: 'Had Crossed My Limits'

Johnny Lever recalled that he would drink every day at Mumbai's Chowpatty Beach, and the police—recognizing him—would allow him to do so safely in their car. Johny Lever has spent over forty years in the industry, and has seen his own fair share of ups and downs. At one point, he was one of the most successful comedians, acting in films and performing on stage. In a recent chat with comedians Sapan Verma, Aakash Gupta, and his daughter Jamie Lever, Johny revealed that he used to be heavily into drinking, staying at Mumbai's Chowpatty drinking until 4 am. During an appearance on Sapan Verma's YouTube show, Johny, joined by his daughter Jamie, reminisced about his demanding schedule and how his overwhelming success negatively impacted his health and lifestyle. He explained that he often felt exhausted, juggling film shoots during the day and stage performances at night, combined with heavy drinking. This routine left him feeling completely drained. Despite his exhaustion, Johny consistently delivered his performances, although he felt completely depleted afterwards. He advised moderation, sharing his own experience of excessive drinking until 4 am at Chowpatty, where even the police, recognizing him, allowed him to drink safely in their car. 'I request people—limit mein piyo (drink in moderation). I had crossed my limits, and it's not worth it. I was a drunkard. I would sit at Chowpatty and drink till 4 in the morning. Many times, the police would come, but when they recognised me, they would laugh and say, 'Arre, Johnny bhai,' and let me sit in their car to continue drinking safely," he said. Discussing the impact of success, Johny noted that his constant presence in movies and international shows led to a loss of self. He ultimately decided to quit drinking and has remained sober for the past 24 years. 'Success can mess with your mind. At one point, no movie was made without me. I was also doing international shows and constantly traveling. I lost myself in all of it," he said. In recent years, Johny Lever has become selective with his roles. This year, he has already appeared in three movies: Badass Ravi Kumar, Be Happy, and Housefull 5, with another film, Welcome To The Jungle, set to release, although the official date is yet to be announced.
