'Dhurandhar' actor Akshaye Khanna on his acting skills and selection of scripts: 'Every artiste has a lifespan and...'

Akshaye Khanna should be on cloud nine post two blockbusters in the same year- Chhaava and Dhurandhar. The recluse star is getting immense praise for his restrained and remarkable performance as Rehman Dakait.

In a throwback interview, the actor once spoke about his acting skills, instincts, and choices of scripts. Khanna was quoted saying, “Till the clap is given, even I don’t know what I am going to do. Ultimately, he trusts the moment and accepts that the final outcome is not his call. “Whether it is magic or utter crap, it is for the director to decide."

He added, “My selection of scripts depends on instinct. Sometimes my instincts are right and sometimes they are not. Filmmaking is a collaborative art form; individually, you are zero until everything around you is perfect."

Akshaye Khanna in Bhagam Bhag 2?

And if a report by Box-Office India is to be believed, he could be reuniting with his ‘Tees Maar Khan’ co-star Akshay Kumar for ‘Bhagam Bhag 2.’

Nothing about the development has been confirmed yet.

Akshaye Khanna seems to have become the flavour of the month post his bone-chilling and barbaric performance in Aditya Dhar’s severely discussed and debated spy drama Dhurandhar. The pensive star essayed the role of Pakistani gangster Rahman Dakait. The vintage Akshaye Khanna smirks were sprinkled on the heinous demeanour of this dreaded gangster.

Dhar allows his actor to chew the scenery and fascinatingly fulfills his wish of starring in an action film. There’s swag even in his sorrows. He dies a painful death in an encounter that happens in 2009 in the film, inspired by real-life events and incidents.

Who was Rahman Dakait?

Dakait’s real name was Sardar Abdul Rehman Baloch. He established his dominance with his henchmen in Lyari. He was into drug peddling right during his teens and committed his first crime at the age of 13. We are told in the film he murdered his own mother. He was 34 when he died in an encounter. His cousin Uzair took command of his gang after his death.
