Akshaye Khanna has impressed everyone with his performance in the recently released film Dhurandhar. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film sees him play gangster Rahman Dakhait. After the release, the internet has been flooded with memes and clips from the film, largely focused on Khanna and his on-screen aura. Many viewers have praised the actor, even using clips from his older films to celebrate his performance. Meanwhile, a section of netizens has been wondering whether Khanna is even aware of all this social media attention.
Akshaye Khanna has no social media presence, gives very few interviews, and prefers a quiet, private life. But it turns out the actor is very much aware of the memes- thanks to filmmaker Farah Khan. A meme page posted a video of Akshaye’s look as Rahman Dakhait, looking stylish in a turban and sunglasses. The caption read, “Does Akshaye Khanna know he’s getting all this attention?” The post went viral and was noticed by Farah Khan, who worked with Khanna in Tees Maar Khan.
