Akshaye Khanna Reportedly Exits Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3 After Dhurandhar Surge

Akshaye Khanna’s recent career momentum, fuelled by the strong buzz around Dhurandhar, has reportedly led the actor to step away from Ajay Devgn’s upcoming thriller Drishyam 3. According to industry reports, the actor has opted out of the sequel as he reassesses his project slate following the renewed attention and acclaim coming his way.

Khanna’s portrayal in Drishyam 2 was widely appreciated, adding a sharp edge to the franchise and earning him praise from both critics and audiences. His reported exit from the third instalment has therefore come as a surprise to fans who were eager to see his character continue in the story.

Sources suggest that the actor is currently being selective about his choices, prioritising roles that align with the fresh phase of his career post-Dhurandhar. While the makers of Drishyam 3 have not issued an official statement yet, the development has sparked curiosity about how the narrative might adapt in his absence.

Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam franchise remains one of Bollywood’s most successful thrillers, and updates around casting and production are expected to be announced soon. Until then, Akshaye Khanna’s reported decision underscores the shifting dynamics of star power and project choices in today’s film industry.
