A fan said, “Can we just declare 2025 the year of Akshaye Khanna sir. Incredible in Chaava and then pushed the envelope further in #Dhurandhar. What a performance!”

"> No social media> No PR machinery> No airport pap walks> No controversy bait> No interviews for clout> Disappears for years> Returns with two films in 2025> Effortlessly dominates the screen and steals the show from the lead actors. Akshaye Khanna: the quietest but loudest performer," noted a fan.
Akshaye Khanna started the year with Chhaava, in which he played Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, a role that earned him wide praise. He was the antagonist to Vicky Kaushal's Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj in the film. With Dhurandhar, the actor has capped off a great year with two equally effective performances. The film had a great opening, collecting ₹27 crore on Friday.
