Watch: Akshaye Khanna Performs Puja At His Alibaug Home Amid ‘Dhurandhar’ Success
Akshaye Khanna has become the talk of the town for his smashing performance in Aditya Dhar's recently released 'Dhurandhar'.
Akshaye Khanna has become the talk of the town for his smashing performance in Aditya Dhar's recently released 'Dhurandhar'. The Bollywood actor outshone every other actor in the film, including Ranveer Singh, as he delivered a menacing performance in his portrayal of Pakistani gangster Rahman Dakait. Not just his acting, Akshaye Khanna is also winning a lot of praise for his now viral dance sequence to the 'Fa9la' song. Amid the smash-hit success of 'Dhurandhar', Akshaye Khanna was seen performing a vastu shanti puja at his residence in Alibaug.
A video is now going viral on social media, in which he can be seen performing the puja while dressed in a casual white shirt and blue denim. He can be seen participating in the rituals alongside three priests.
The priest Shivam Mhatre shared the glimpses of the ceremony, saying, "I had the good fortune of performing a traditional and devotional puja at actor Akshaye Khanna’s residence. His calm nature, simplicity, and positive energy made the experience truly special."
“When it comes to class in acting, Akshaye Khanna stands apart. Through his powerful role in the historical film Chhaava, he once again captured the audience’s attention. This was followed by his sharp and intense character in Dhurandhar, his restrained yet compelling performance in Drishyam 2, and his serious, realistic role in Section 375—each film reflecting a new peak in his acting journey," he added.

In his post, he further wrote, "With carefully chosen roles, meaningful cinema, and mature performances, Akshaye Khanna continues to hold a unique and respected place in the hearts of audiences.”
Speaking of 'Dhurandhar', the film which also stars Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Sara Arjun and Arjun Rampal, minted Rs 30.50 crore on Tuesday, the 12th day of its release. According to Sacnilk, the total nett domestic collection of the film now stands at Rs 411.75 crore. The project has already become Ranveer Singh's highest domestic grosser.
'Dhurandhar' is expected to vroom past the Rs 500 crore mark by the end of this week, becoming the second Bollywood project of 2025 to do so after Vicky Kaushal's 'Chhaava'.
Coincidentally, Akshaye Khanna also featured in 'Chhaava' as he gave a menacing performance as the antagonist Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.
Coming back to 'Dhurandhar', the film draws inspiration from real-life incidents, following a spy who infiltrates Rehman Dakait’s gang in Lyari, Pakistan.
The sequel, ‘Dhurandhar 2’, is scheduled to release on March 19, 2026. It is set for a major box office clash with Yash’s highly anticipated film, ‘Toxic: A Fairytale for the Grown-Ups’.
