Ranveer Singh starrer Dhurandhar hit the theatres on December 5, and while the entire cast’s performance is being praised, Akshaye Khanna’s performance has particularly grabbed the most attention. He plays
the role of Rehman Dakait in the Aditya Dhar film, and his fierce and brutal avatar has become the talk of the town. Akshaye’s dramatic entry to the Bahraini rap track FA9LA has also gone viral. Now, amid the viral craze, actress Ameesha Patel has shared a post on Instagram praising Akshaye Khanna’s talent and his humility. They have worked together in the 2002 movie Humraaz.

Meanwhile, in an earlier podcast with Ranveer Allahbadia, Ameesha Patel praised Akshaye Khanna’s versatility as an actor. She said that he can easily ace roles that are completely unexpected and outside the kind of characters people usually associate with him. “Akshaye comes, does a one-off, completely out-of-the-box character which you would never imagine. He will do something that you don’t picture him in, which you actually feel ki ye Akshaye Khanna ke bas ki baat nahi hai. It’s not meant for him,” she said.
