Akshaye Khanna's outstanding performance in Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar has finally earned him the recognition he deserves. The actor's portrayal of Rehman Dakait has made 2025 a breakout year for him. Recently, a dance scene from the film featuring Akshaye went viral, prompting fans to recall a similar performance by his late father Vinod Khanna from a 1989 charity event in Lahore, Pakistan. But what's more poignant is that Akshaye was reminded of his father when he first saw his look for the film. Character and prosthetic designer Preetisheel Singh revealed in an interview that Akshaye's reaction to his appearance as Rehman Dakait was a mix of nostalgia and pride. Singh, who also worked on Akshaye's look in Chhava, aimed to create a suave and charismatic character that would command attention without needing too much dialogue. When Akshaye saw his character's look for the first time, he was taken aback by the resemblance to his late father. Singh recalled that Akshaye was looking at himself in the mirror, saying he was reminded of Vinod Khanna. The similarity between the two actors has sparked a wave of nostalgia among fans, who believe that Vinod Khanna would have been proud of his son's performance in Dhurandhar. As Akshaye gears up for his next project, Prashanth Varma's Mahakali, fans are eagerly awaiting his next move. With the success of Dhurandhar, there's buzz surrounding a potential sequel, with Akshaye possibly making an appearance in a flashback segment. Only time will tell if Akshaye's performance in Mahakali will live up to the hype surrounding Dhurandhar, but one thing is certain - he's finally getting the recognition he deserves.
