Akshaye Khanna Lives Life On His Terms: Arshad Warsi Praises Actor Amid Drishyam 3 Exit Row

After Akshaye Khanna reportedly walked out of Drishyam 3 amid the massive success of Dhurandhar, the film’s producer accused him of unprofessional behaviour and sent a legal notice citing financial losses.

He was labelled toxic and demanding for allegedly increasing his fee after signing the film and insisting on a wig. Amid the negative reports about his on-set behaviour, actor Arshad Warsi has come out in praise of Khanna. In a recent interview, he called the Tees Maar Khan actor brilliant and said he lives life on his own terms. The duo has worked together in the comedy classic Hulchul (2004).Arshad Warsi On Akshaye KhannaThe Munna Bhai MBBS actor told Lallantop, “Akshaye is a very serious guy. He has been a brilliant actor since before; there was no doubt about that, but he likes to stay in his own world. He doesn’t care about anybody. He lives his life on his terms and doesn’t get bothered by who thinks what about him. He has no PR or anybody right from day one, and he has been like this all his life.”This comes at a time when interviews of the Section 375 producer have been doing the rounds on social media.Akshaye Khanna SLAMMED By Drishyam 3 MakersFor those unversed, producer Kumar Mangat Pathak recently served Khanna with a legal notice.

He added that while the director was willing to discuss the issue, Khanna eventually informed them that he no longer wanted to be part of the film.Akshaye is yet to officially respond.
