Through his powerful and impactful role in the historical film Chhaava, he once again captured the audience’s attention. This was followed by his sharp and intense character in Dhurandhar, his restrained yet highly compelling performance in Drishyam 2, and his serious, realistic role in Section 375 — each film reflecting a new height in his acting journey. With carefully chosen roles, meaningful cinema, and mature performances, Akshay Khanna continues to hold a unique and respected place in the hearts of audiences.”

In an exclusive interview with
Zoom, Danish Pandor, who plays Akshaye’s cousin in

He knows the ins and outs of every scene that what exactly needs to be done and avoids all the unnecessary distractions which are there on the set.”He further added, “There is something very inspiring about Akshaye sir that every actor should learn. Getting into the zone, keeping it to yourself. Just perform and give your 100% every time. He is very sharp as an actor, and he quietly observes everyone.”After
