Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar continues to dominate conversations even ten days after its theatrical release. The spy action thriller has not only struck a chord with audiences but has also drawn consistent appreciation from celebrities, who have been vocal about the film’s performances and storytelling.
Last week, actor and BJP leader Smriti Irani shared her detailed thoughts on Dhurandhar, praising Aditya Dhar’s craftsmanship and research-driven approach to filmmaking. She also highlighted the performances of Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, describing their work as a lesson in acting for those who value consistency and legacy in cinema.
Now, Smriti has once again expressed her admiration for Akshaye Khanna. Taking to Instagram, she shared a clip from his 2010 film Tees Maar Khan, which has resurfaced online after Akshaye’s dance clip from Dhurandhar went viral. In the scene, Akshay Kumar’s character, posing as a filmmaker, flatters Akshaye’s character by promising him Oscar-worthy success.
Sharing the clip, Smriti wrote a playful caption suggesting that Akshaye now truly deserves such recognition, referring to the strong impact of his role as Rehman Dakait in Dhurandhar. Smriti Irani wrote, “When Akshaye Khanna has surpassed all expectations & you too want to yell….. de do Oscar. Her post quickly resonated with fans, many of whom echoed similar sentiments after watching the film.
Alongside Akshaye Khanna, Dhurandhar features notable performances by Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Rakesh Bedi and Sara Arjun, all of whom have been appreciated for their contributions. The film’s continued buzz reflects its strong hold on both audiences and industry insiders, reinforcing its position as one of the most talked-about releases of the season.
