Akshaye Khanna, the brooding intensity behind some of Bollywood’s most memorable antagonists, is stealing the show once again. His chilling entry as Rahman Dakait in the just-released Dhurandhar – sunglasses glinting in the desert sun, set to the viral Bahraini rap FA9LA – has fans pausing frames and flooding social media with edits.At 50, the son of legend Vinod Khanna is proof that selective brilliance beats constant spotlight-chasing. With an estimated net worth of Rs 167 crore as of December 2025, his wealth – built on discerning roles, royalties, and savvy investments – fuels a portfolio of Mumbai’s crown-jewel properties and an understated fleet of luxury wheels, said a TOI report.That's 307% more than Chhaava co-star Vicky Kaushal’s Rs 41
crore, despite Vicky earning Rs 10 crore per film to Akshaye’s Rs 2.5 crore.How does he do it? Here’s a breakdown of the reclusive star’s quietly powerful empire.From Border Breakthrough to Box-Office Boss: The Career Fueling the FortuneAkshaye debuted in 1997 with Himalay Putra, a flop that could’ve sunk any newcomer.

Arun Khetarpal – changed everything, earning him critical acclaim and a Filmfare nomination.Fast-forward to 2025: Back-to-back 200-crore blockbusters like Drishyam 2 ( Rs 350 crore), Chhaava ( Rs 250 crore+), and now Dhurandhar ( Rs 50 crore opening weekend) have boosted his earnings significantly.Career Earnings Breakdown
