The Akshay‑Saif starrer Haiwaan wrapped its cinema life with a modest Rs 9 crore net, Pinkvilla reported on Thursday. The film opened to Rs 2.5 crore on its first day, nudged the weekend total to about Rs 6.75 crore and closed the first week at Rs 8.75 crore. After that, the tally inched forward by only a quarter‑crore before the curtains fell.
Industry chatter points to a mix of muted word‑of‑mouth and a promotional push that fell short of blockbuster standards. The thriller’s premise, a remake of Malayalam hit Oppam, struggled to attract a broad audience, and its genre didn’t help broaden appeal.
Director Priyadarshan, who helmed the project, hinted he’ll steer clear of non‑comedic collaborations with Kumar moving forward. The statement, while informal, signals a possible shift in the actor’s upcoming slate.
