What's the story
Director Priyadarshan recently praised actor Saif Ali Khan for his commitment and maturity while working on their upcoming film, Haiwaan. The action thriller features Khan and Akshay Kumar in lead roles.

Actor's commitment
Khan is 'too committed' to his work
Priyadarshan further said, "Saif is too committed. I have noticed one wonderful thing about him, which is very difficult to see today."
"In between the shots, he only reads books; I've never seen him on his phone, and he only reads books in between the shots."
"Then I found that he's a voracious reader and has amazing knowledge about things around the world."
"This is something I found very interesting. You can talk to him on many subjects."
