Actor Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar has been a box office hit, and Akshay Kumar was asked if he'd have liked to be part of the Aditya Dhar directorial. Akshay revealed he wasn't offered the film because Aditya hadn't thought of him for the role. He added that the situation doesn't cause him any insecurity.
Akshay spoke about the success of Dhurandhar at the India Today Conclave Delhi 2026, saying audiences have once again embraced large-scale action films. He noted that everything keeps changing in the industry, and they never really know what audiences will like next.
When asked if he'd like to be part of the Lyari gang, Akshay responded, 'I don't think Aditya thought that, so I didn't get it.' He also shared that he doesn't feel insecure or have any regret, saying 'everyone gets work' in the industry.
Dhurandhar tells the story of an Indian spy infiltrating Karachi's criminal and political underworld in Pakistan. The plot weaves together several real-life events involving geopolitical tensions.
Akshay has several interesting projects in the pipeline, including horror-comedy Bhoot Bangla, Welcome to the Jungle, and Priyadarshan's Haiwaan. He has also joined Rohit Shetty's Golmaal franchise and will be seen in Golmaal 5 alongside Ajay Devgn and Sharman Joshi.
