India, Aug. 22 -- Actor Saif Ali Khan is all excited for his next, directed by Priyadarshan and co-starring Akshay Kumar, Haiwaan, where he plays a visually impaired musician and martial arts coach. The actor says interestingly both his director and his father the legendary Tiger Pataudi, are both cricketers who lost one eye but it did not deter them from making their mark in their respective fields.

Saif says, "Priyadarshan is like Clint Eastwood, senior and calm. He reminds me of my dad. Both cricketers and both lost an eye but great in their professional space. Priyadarshan gives you just one take so you have to make quick decisions as an actor and he wraps up shoot in time every single day."

This is also his seventh film with Akshay...
