Veteran Bollywood actor Akshaye Khanna has been consistently making headlines lately, thanks to his film "Dhruva." The recently released spy thriller "Dhruva" not only broke box office records, making the producers wealthy, but also re-established Akshaye Khanna as one of the most powerful actors in the industry. Even amidst superstars like Ranveer Singh, Akshaye's performance has been the center of attention. From his entry scene to his style and screen presence, everything about him in the film has been trending on social media.
News about Akshaye Khanna
Meanwhile, a new piece of news about Akshaye Khanna has created a stir in the film industry. Rumors are rife that he has opted out of Ajay Devgn's much-awaited film "Drishyam 3." It is being said that the reason behind this is not just the fee, but also creative differences. However, neither the actor nor the film's makers have issued any official statement on the matter yet. This has only been claimed in reports so far.
Akshaye Khanna leaves 'Drishyam 3.'
In fact, a page on X (formerly Twitter) called Bollywood Machine claimed that Akshaye has left Drishyam 3 due to disagreements over his fee and his character. According to reports circulating on social media, after the tremendous success of "Dhruva," Akshaye Khanna demanded an increase in his fee. He also wanted some significant changes to his character's look. It is believed that negotiations with the producers stalled over these demands, leading to the actor withdrawing from the film.
Fans' reactions to the news
As soon as this news broke, social media was flooded with reactions from fans. Many justified Akshaye Khanna's decision, saying that it is natural for an actor who has delivered a powerful performance in a recent blockbuster to see his value increase. However, some fans were disappointed by the news, as they wanted to see Akshaye Khanna in the "Drishyam" franchise again. Many users also wrote that an actor like Akshaye Khanna should be offered stronger and challenging roles.
Interestingly, according to sources, the negotiations are not entirely over yet. Discussions are reportedly still ongoing between the makers and Akshaye Khanna. Therefore, it would be premature to say whether the actor has actually dropped out of 'Drishyam 3' or if a middle ground will be reached in the coming days.
When will the film be released?
Meanwhile, there is already tremendous excitement among the audience for 'Drishyam 3'. Ajay Devgn's crime thriller franchise has grown stronger with each installment. The film is being directed by Abhishek Pathak and is slated for release in theaters on October 2, 2026. As for 'Dhruva', the film has become one of the biggest hits of Akshaye Khanna's career. Besides earning hundreds of crores in India, the film also performed brilliantly worldwide. The sequel was also announced at the end of the film, which clearly indicates that Akshaye Khanna's stardom is set to reach even greater heights in the future.
