Akshaye Khanna’s entry as Rahman Dakait in Balochistan has taken social media by storm, quickly becoming one of Dhurandhar’s most talked-about moments upon its release. The actor is seen entering to the catchy Bahraini track FA9LA, and his dance step has emerged as the film’s unexpected hook, capturing the audience’s attention. In the scene, Rahman joins the dance with an unmistakably mischievous smile, charisma, and a step that was Khanna’s spontaneous on-set improvisation.

According to insiders, the choreography for the background dancers was designed and rehearsed by Vijay Ganguly. The original script had Khanna’s character simply walk down, vibe to the music, and eventually settle into his throne—a moment meant to convey Rahman Dakait’s swagger and command.
