Entertainment Dec 17, 2025

Akshaye Khanna is getting a lot of love for playing Rehman Dakait in Dhurandhar, but his reaction to the film's huge success was super chill—just a simple, "Haan, mazza aaya," according to casting director Mukesh Chhabra.
Chhabra also pointed out how Khanna's dedication and unique style really set him apart on screen.

Behind the scenes: 18 months of casting pays off

Chhabra shared that picking the perfect cast took 18 months, with every role chosen carefully.
All that effort seems worth it—Dhurandhar has smashed past ₹500 crore at the box office and is now one of 2025's biggest hits, showing just how much audiences are loving it.
