Akshay Kumar has given his Haiwaan co-star Saif Ali Khan a birthday surprise that is far from ordinary. The actor, who plays the character Haiwaan in the upcoming film, shared a video on Instagram that is both intriguing and unsettling.
In the video, Akshay sings "Mera Hero Hai Woh" while blowing out a candle on a birthday cupcake. He wishes Saif with a cryptic smile that sets a mysterious tone. But the surprise takes a darker turn when a little girl's voice joins in, giving fans a sneak peek into the film's first song.
Haiwaan Birthday Video Hints at Film's First Song
The birthday wish does more than just celebrate Saif Ali Khan. It teases the mysterious equation between the two actors in Haiwaan. According to Bollywood Hungama, the video sets the tone for their electrifying face-off in the film. The little girl's voice adds an eerie layer, hinting at the suspenseful nature of the movie's music.
The video has already sparked excitement among fans. As Bolly Hungama on X noted, Akshay Kumar marked his co-star's birthday with a special surprise while teasing the film's first song. The post asks fans if they are excited for the music of Haiwaan, building anticipation for what is to come.
What We Know About Haiwaan So Far
Haiwaan is shaping up to be a gripping thriller. The film stars Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan in what appears to be a tense, suspenseful storyline. Alongside the two leads, the movie also features Boman Irani, Saiyami Kher, and Shriya Pilgaonkar in pivotal roles.

The birthday video fits perfectly with this tone. It is not a warm, friendly wish — it is a calculated, sinister tease that mirrors the film's likely atmosphere. The use of a child's voice in the song preview adds an unsettling contrast, which seems intentional to build curiosity.
Our Take: A Smart Marketing Move for Haiwaan
To put it plainly, this birthday surprise is a clever piece of promotion. Akshay Kumar has turned a simple birthday greeting into a marketing moment that keeps Haiwaan in the spotlight. Instead of just wishing Saif Ali Khan, he has given fans a reason to talk about the film's music and the dynamic between the two leads.
The sinister tone is a bold choice. It tells audiences that Haiwaan will not be a typical action film — it will have layers of suspense and psychological tension. The little girl's voice in the song teaser is particularly effective because it creates an eerie feeling that lingers after the video ends.
For fans, this is a promising sign. The film already has a strong cast and an intriguing premise. If the first song is as haunting as this teaser suggests, Haiwaan could deliver something memorable. The theatrical release is expected, and this birthday surprise has only raised the excitement level.
In our view, Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan are setting up a face-off that audiences will not want to miss. The birthday video is just the beginning — and it has done its job well.
