Even as the Indian film industry is reeling in Dhurandhar fever, their lead actor, Akshaye Khanna, has adopted a typically low-key approach by choosing his acting roles. Akshaye is known to shy away from publicity and is presently passing time at his Alibaug residence, although his latest spy flick has recently broken the ₹600 crores barrier at abroad box offices.
The fans were treated to a glimpse behind the scenes of the actor’s life when a priest, Shivam Mhatre, posted a video on his social media account of a vastu shanti havan ceremony taking place at Akshaye’s bungalow. The actor was seen dressed casually in a white shirt and blue denim, looking composed and deeply participating in a traditional Hindu ceremonial practice that is normally undertaken to bring positive energy and harmony to a home.
The priest’s social media post went viral not just because of the footage, but also because of the glowing tribute he paid about the character in the post. The experience was truly special according to Mhatre, who complimented the simplicity and “calm nature” of the actor. He even regarded the actor’s recent spate of mature roles in movies such as Chhaava, Drishyam 2 and Section 375 as ‘the definition of class’.
The Rehman Dakait phenomena
The buzz around this actor is at an all-time high ever since he stepped into the shoes of Rehman Dakait in the film Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar. The film was released on December 5, 2025 and has become an unprecedented money-spinning machine as its nett business in the country is over ₹411 crore. Performances, particularly the acting acumen of Akshaye, have been the driving factors behind the movie’s triumphs.
Despite the widespread acclaim, Akshaye continues to be a selective and committed cine artist. His next venture, Dhurandhar Part Two, is already set to release in March 2026, and his fans are already abuzz with expectations about his next move, considering that he is quite a reclusive star.
