Quotes
Saif Ali Khan
Actor discussing the physically demanding Haiwaan action sequence.
“That fight was really well choreographed by Silva and there's no special effects added to it, there were no duplicates. There's very little fakery in these scenes. The room has broken glass everywhere. It was very raw and kind of violent and it was utterly exhausting because after that I had to lie down for two days.”
