Akshaye Khanna is riding high on a renewed wave of success, propelled by his spellbinding portrayal in Dhurandhar. His intense performance as Rehman Dakait has drawn strong appreciation in Ranveer Singh–fronted spy thriller. Earlier in the year, Akshaye Khanna impressed one and all as Aurangzeb in Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava which also was a huge blockbuster.
With his demand surging once again, it is hardly surprising that Akshaye Khanna has reportedly revised his fee. However, this revision is said to have impacted one of the most-awaited films currently in the works, Drishyam 3. For those who don’t know, Akshaye played a pivotal role in Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 2, which was a money spinner. According to reports, the makers of Drishyam 3 were not ready to meet Akshaye Khanna’s pay expectations.
It is being further said that apart from financial negotiations, there were also creative differences between the actor and the makers, which made Akshaye Khanna step away from the project. If the news turns out to be true, it’s going to be a huge disappointment for audiences who have been eagerly looking forward to Akshaye’s presence in the third part.
