Akshaye Khanna to return as Rehman Dakait in Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2: Reports

Actor Akshaye Khanna, who played the antagonist in Ranveer Singh's espionage-thriller Dhurandhar is all set to return in the film's sequel, according to reports. The actor will reprise the role of Rehman Dakait in director Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar 2.

Akshaye will return to sets for a short one-week shoot, aimed at expanding his character’s backstory and adding more layers to his role in the next chapter of the franchise, as reported by Filmfare.

Akshaye’s portrayal of the Pakistani



gangster Rehman Dakait has left a lasting impact on audiences. A spontaneous dance sequence set to Flipperachi’s Fa9La became an internet sensation, with social media users and creators rushing to mimic his moves. This viral success has sparked a new wave of appreciation for the actor, who seems entirely unbothered by the sudden surge in attention. Though the first part of the spy thriller concludes with his character being killed by Ranveer Singh’s Hamza in the final chapter, Et tu Brute, fans are already calling for his return in the sequel.
