Akshaye Khanna’s performance in Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar continues to dominate online conversations, with audiences and industry peers alike celebrating the actor’s nuanced screen presence. As discussions around the film gain momentum, social media has been flooded with memes, appreciation posts, and throwback references—one of which has now drawn a witty response from Akshay Kumar.
Watched Dhurandhar and I’m blown away. What a gripping tale and you’ve simply nailed it @AdityaDharFilms . We need our stories to be told in a hard-hitting way and I’m so glad the audiences are giving the film all the love it deserves. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The latest viral moment stems from a meme comparing Dhurandhar’s success to a memorable scene from Tees Maar Khan. In the 2010 film, Akshay Kumar plays a conman who pretends to be an acclaimed filmmaker and goes to great lengths to convince Akshaye Khanna’s character that he is Oscar-worthy. With Dhurandhar receiving widespread acclaim, fans found the parallel too tempting to ignore.
When a user on X shared a screengrab from Tees Maar Khan with the caption, “Thank you director saab, for giving the nation such an amazing actor,” Akshay Kumar joined the fun. Reposting the meme, he responded humorously, “Kabhi ghamand nahi kiya bhai kabhi ghamand nahi kiya,” instantly adding to the buzz around the film.
Kabhi ghamand nahi kiya bhai…kabhi ghamand nahi kiya 😜 https://t.co/9uBi3fgA9w

Beyond the humour, Akshay Kumar also took a moment to acknowledge Dhurandhar on a more serious note. Praising the film and its director, he wrote that he was “blown away” by the gripping narrative and applauded Aditya Dhar for telling a hard-hitting story that resonated with audiences. His endorsement further underscored the film’s growing impact and the industry-wide appreciation it is receiving.
As Dhurandhar continues to be discussed for its performances—particularly those of Akshaye Khanna and Ranveer Singh—the film’s success has clearly struck a chord beyond box office numbers, sparking conversations across platforms.
On the work front, Akshaye Khanna is set to appear next in Mahakali, while Akshay Kumar is currently busy with Bhooth Bangla and Haiwaan. With Dhurandhar firmly in the spotlight, the renewed attention on Akshaye Khanna’s body of work suggests that audiences are keenly watching what he does next.
