Priyadarshan on ‘Haiwaan’ failure: ‘Why should I experiment’

Director Priyadarshan has voiced his disappointment over the underwhelming box office results of his latest venture, ‘Haiwaan’. With a remarkable 48-year career, he has seen both triumphs and setbacks. Known predominantly for his comedic films like ‘Hera Pheri’, Priyadarshan feels the pressure to meet Hindi audiences’ expectations, despite having made serious films. ‘Haiwaan’, featuring Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar, is a remake of ‘Oppam’.
