The internet is buzzing with rumours that Akshaye Khanna has returned to the sets of ‘Dhurandhar 2’. But hold your horses, gossip lovers. Pinkvilla has swooped in to set the record straight. Despite all the chatter, Akshaye is not shooting any new scenes for the Ranveer Singh-starrer sequel.
Sources reveal that the actor’s role in ‘Dhurandhar 2’ is limited to a few flashback sequences that were filmed during the first schedules.
“There is no additional filming happening with Akshaye at the moment,” a source told them. “His portions were wrapped earlier and are part of key flashback moments in the narrative.”
So, all the whispers about Akshaye back on set? Totally false.
Post-production in full swing
While Akshaye remains off-camera, the ‘Dhurandhar 2’ team is racing ahead in post-production. Director Aditya Dhar is reportedly at the editing desk, putting together a trailer that’s likely to drop by end of February.
“Aditya is sitting on the trailer edit. The idea is to deliver something impactful again,” an insider shared.
