Akshaye Khanna is being lauded for his standout performance in Dhurandhar, with Arshad Warsi praising his talent and independent nature. However, controversy surrounds him after a producer accused him of unprofessional behaviour following his exit from Drishyam 3.

Arshad Warsi and Akshaye Khanna
For his role in Aditya Dhar`s spy action film Dhurandhar, actor Akshaye Khanna has received widespread acclaim. In fact, a number of spectators have noted that his performance occasionally even eclipses that of Ranveer Singh, the movie`s protagonist. Actor Arshad Warsi most recently discussed Akshaye`s outstanding performance in the movie.
Hulchul (2004) and Short Kut (2009) are the two movies in which Arshad and Akshaye collaborated. Arshad discussed his feelings for Akshaye with Lallantop. He said, “Akshaye is a very serious guy. He has been a brilliant actor since before; there was no doubt about that, but he likes to stay in his own world. He doesn’t care about anybody. He lives his life on his terms and doesn’t get bothered by who thinks what about him. He has no PR or anybody right from day one, and he has been like this all his life.”
