Danish Pandor Reveals Akshaye Khanna's Dance In Shararat Was NOT Choreographed: He Felt Moment Needed Signature Movement

Directed by Aditya Dhar, Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar is breaking records like it’s here to conquer. Ranveer entered the 1000 crores club worldwide and is only a step away from breaking Pushpa’s Hindi record.

The film features Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal, among others. Apart from all these stars, Danish Pandor's performance stands out in this tightly crafted narrative.

Danish Pandor On Akshaye Khanna's Viral Dance Steps

In an interview with News18, Danish spoke about Akshaye Khanna's viral dance steps in Dhurandhar and revealed how they were not really choreographed. He confirmed that Khanna's movement during Shararat was entirely improvised. "Yes, it was," Pandor says. "There was already a dance sequence happening, and we were meant to greet Hamza and Sara on stage. But what Akshaye sir did in that moment came purely from how the character was feeling." Much like Khanna’s now-discussed impromptu dance in FA9LA, this moment emerged organically on set, without premeditation or rehearsal. "If you look at Rehman across the film, he’s a man of very few words. He’s restrained, measured, almost closed-off," he added.

More About Dhurandhar

"At the end of the day, he’s still human. He feels joy. He wants to celebrate. Someone from his own gang is getting married. There’s happiness, relief, and a rare sense of lightness. That sudden burst into dance wasn’t about choreography. It was an emotional expression. It was his way of saying ‘I’m happy’ without saying anything at all. While editing, he felt the moment needed a signature movement. When he saw what Akshaye sir had done organically, he immediately understood that this was the moment," Pandor shared. Concluding the chat, the actor quoted, "Even as a choreographer, he recognised what the character was trying to communicate emotionally. It was exactly what the scene demanded." Directed by Aditya Dhar, the spy thriller was released on December 5, 2025.
