Akshaye Khanna is riding on a high wave after his terrific performance as the antagonist in Aditya Dhar’s spy action thriller Dhurandhar. The versatile actor remains one of Indian cinema’s most underrated talents, despite nearly three decades in the industry. But after Dhurandhar’s success, fans are now eager to know what lies ahead for him.
Here’s a look at Akshaye Khanna’s upcoming projects.
Dhurandhar Sequel
(Spoilers ahead for Dhurandhar)
The post-credits scene of Dhurandhar officially confirms that a sequel to the riveting spy thriller is slated to release on March 19, 2026. Although Akshaye Khanna’s character meets his end in the first part, there’s still a possibility that the talented actor could return in Dhurandhar 2, either through flashbacks or a storyline that further explores Rehman Dakait’s past. For now, fans will have to wait and see how the sequel incorporates one of the film’s most compelling performances.
Akshaye Khanna was honestly on another level in Dhurandhar. There’s a tense, ecstatic moment that ends and he casually says “wooooo”.

Drishyam 3
Akshaye Khanna’s stint as a sharp and determined senior cop in Drishyam 2 was one of the key reasons why the Ajay Devgn-starrer resonated so strongly with audiences, arguably even surpassing the impact of the original Malayalam sequel. The veteran actor is expected to reprise his role in Drishyam 3, and this time, he might finally have what it takes to corner Vijay Salgaonkar. We have a feeling his character will play a far more pivotal role in the upcoming threequel.
