Akshay Kumar-Saif Ali Khan turn Churchgate into ACTION zone for Haiwaan: 30-40 Cars, 100 Junior Artistes, 1 MASSIVE Chase! Priyadarshan says, “Akshay is known to sleep early, yet he shot for 5 nights!”
At one point, several films were filmed on the streets of Mumbai, but this trend has now become rare. However, Akshay Kumar’s upcoming film, Haiwaan, stands out. The actor and co-star Saif Ali Khan shot for nearly 5 days outside Churchgate railway station and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, both of which are located in South Mumbai. An article in Mid-Day reported that Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan shot a grand action sequence near Churchgate railway station. It was a cat-and-mouse chase sequence and included 30-40 cars and 100 junior artistes. Filming in this location went on for 5 nights and was choreographed by action director Stunt Silva. The article carried a quote of Priyadarshan that said, “Both Saif and Akshay knew how the sequence had to be shot and they cooperated, though Akshay is known to sleep early.”Akshay Kumar has wrapped up his portions of Haiwaan and has now left for Dubai for the shoot of Welcome To The Jungle. Priyadarshan further revealed that besides South Mumbai, they also shot in Bandra Kurla Complex and that he still has 9 days of work left with Saif. Yesterday, Shriya Pilgaonkar uploaded a photo on Instagram where she could be seen posing with Priyadarshan. She informed her followers that she has also completed her shoot for Haiwaan. She added, “An absolute privilege to work with this stellar team led by Priyadarshan sir”. From Holiday to Haiwaan The last time Akshay Kumar shot in this manner on Mumbai streets was for Holiday A Soldier Is Never Off Duty (2014). During its tenth anniversary, its producer Vipul Shah told Bollywood Hungama about how a star like Akshay managed to shoot on the roads, “Mr A R Murugadoss planned it meticulously. We had approximately sixteen hidden cameras. We had marked the whole path and we knew that we’d be able to film just one shot at a time. This is because the moment people would spot Akshay on a Bandra signal, it was going to become chaos. Thousands of people would assemble in no time to catch his glimpse. And then you can’t shoot, as Akshay’s character is supposed to be one of the many people in the crowd. Hence, we’d quickly film the shoot and then Akshay would sit in his car and speed away. We utilized the parking lot of Gaiety-Galaxy. Akshay used to wait there for his next shot. And he knew exactly where he was supposed to walk and what he was supposed to do. We ensured that the shot was done in one take; or else, we would get a chance to do a retake only 2-3 hours later! Thankfully, we got all our takes in the first take itself.”Also Read: Akshay Kumar-Anees Bazmee reunite for madcap love triangle a reimagined Sankranthiki Vasthunam; to go on floors in February 2026.
Akshay Kumar secures legal protection from unauthorized use of AI-generated content
The Bombay High Court has granted interim relief in favour of actor Akshay Kumar, shielding him from the unauthorised use of his likeness, image, and voice through AI-generated content and deepfakes. The order marks a significant step in the ongoing conversation about celebrity personality rights and the ethical use of artificial intelligence in the media. Justice Arif Doctor observed that such misuse of a public figure’s image “not only hurts his stature but has huge consequences,” emphasizing the growing urgency of tackling impersonation and misinformation driven by emerging technologies. The order follows a civil suit filed by the actor-legally known as Akshay Hari Om Bhatia-to prevent individuals and online platforms from exploiting his persona without consent. Representing Kumar, Senior Advocate Birendra Saraf argued that the issue transcends personal injury and has broader implications for public trust. “These acts cause grave harm to the plaintiff’s goodwill and reputation, dilute his personality and publicity rights, mislead the public, and amount to unfair competition and unjust enrichment,” Saraf said, urging the court to protect digital identity rights. The petition outlines multiple instances of deepfake misuse including a fabricated movie trailer showing Akshay as Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, and another clip falsely portraying him making remarks about Rishi Valmiki, which led to public backlash and forced clarifications from the actor. In one instance, a platform named Akshaykumar. ai allegedly allowed users to generate synthetic audio mimicking his voice and style. Saraf also highlighted concerns over counterfeit merchandise, cloned social media accounts, and fake endorsements circulating under Kumar’s name across platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook, as well as dark web listings. The plea sought a John Doe injunction against both known and unknown entities, asking intermediaries, e-commerce platforms, and domain registrars to identify perpetrators and remove infringing content. The court’s interim order aligns with a growing trend of Indian celebrities seeking protection from AI impersonations the Bombay High Court has previously extended similar relief to Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Suniel Shetty, Karan Johar, Rishab Shetty, and Asha Bhosle, who faced deepfake misuse of voice and image.
