Actor Akshay Kumar celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi in a traditional yet eco-conscious manner while shooting for his upcoming film Haiwaan in Kochi. The actor, known for blending his busy work life with personal beliefs, performed a simple yet heartfelt Ganpati visarjan on the film’s set, accompanied by the cast and crew.
Akshay Kumar marks eco-friendly Ganesh visarjan on Haiwaan sets in Kochi
In an exclusive video from Hindustan Times, Akshay is seen carrying an eco-friendly Ganpati idol and performing the immersion ritual. The actor folded his hands, bowed in prayer, and impressed fans with what many described as a “cool visarjan move,” gently dipping the idol into the water with ease and grace. The atmosphere was filled with devotion as the team joined in the celebration, creating a moment that struck a balance between reverence and festivity.
Akshay’s choice of an eco-friendly idol highlighted his continued advocacy for sustainable and mindful celebrations. Even while away from home, the actor ensured that the festival was observed in a way that respected both tradition and the environment.
The Ganesh Chaturthi celebration coincided with the shoot of Haiwaan, directed by veteran filmmaker Priyadarshan. The project, which went on floors on August 23 in Kochi, brings Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan together on screen after 17 years, their last collaboration being Tashan (2008).
The action-thriller features an ensemble cast including Shriya Pilgaonkar, Saiyami Kher, and Asrani. Adding to the excitement, Malayalam superstar Mohanlal will make a special cameo appearance, though details of his role remain under wraps.
Priyadarshan, praising Akshay, described him as “Bollywood’s Mohanlal,” underlining the strong artistic connection they share. In a striking departure from his usual hero persona, Akshay will be seen portraying a darker, antagonistic character in the film.
Filming is currently taking place across Kochi, Ooty, and Mumbai, with the movie slated for a 2026 release.
