Ranveer Singh starrer ‘Dhurandhar’ is performing well at the box office. From the story of the film to the acting of its star cast, it has won the hearts of the audience. However, in this multi-starrer film, one actor grabbed the entire limelight. Although this actor has played the role of a villain in ‘Dhurandhar’ but it is overshadowing the hero.

Actually we are talking about Akshay Khanna. Akshay has looked so awesome in ‘Dhurandhar’ that he has eaten up hero Ranveer Singh. Just like Bobby Deol in the role of villain Abrar in Animal was overshadowed by the film’s hero Ranbir Kapoor.

Akshay Khanna ate Ranveer Singh in ‘Dhurandhar’
Akshay Khanna’s acting in Aditya Dhar’s film ‘Dhurandhar’ speaks for itself. Even though Ranveer Singh is the lead hero of the film, Akshay Khanna was so engrossed in his character of ‘Rahman Dacoit’ that he grabbed the entire limelight. His powerful acting is so impressive that it even leaves behind his initial love-boy image in films like ‘Dil Chahta Hai’, ‘Hungama’ and ‘Aa Ab Laut Chalen’. Although those films kept him in the news, they never became the success that could be expected from a talented actor like him. First with Chhaava and now with ‘Dhurandhar’, Akshaye Khanna has once again made such a comeback in the industry that even the heroes are proving to be pale in comparison to him. Many posts are also going viral on social media in which it is written that Akshay Khanna has eaten Ranveer Singh in ‘Dhurandhar’.

Bobby Deol also had a crush on Ranbir Kapoor in Animal
Earlier, Bobby Deol had played the role of Abrar in the film Animal. Bobby Deol’s role in the film was quite small but he overshadowed hero Ranbir Kapoor. At that time, Bobby Deol was discussed more than Ranbir. In such a situation, now people are saying on social media that both Ranveer and Ranbir were eaten by the villains of their films.

While one user wrote, “Both Bobby and Ranbir’s acting in Animal was brilliant, but talking about Dhurandhar, Akshay Khanna has completely defeated Ranveer Singh on screen.”

Akshay Khanna’s second inning can be tremendous
There is a lot of discussion on social media not about the story of ‘Dhurandhar’, but about Akshaye Khanna, who was a hero who was ignored for a long time. After the release of the film ‘Animal’, it seemed as if Bobby Deol’s life had changed overnight. The actor himself admitted that there was an all-round change of opportunities in his life, from ‘The Bads of Bollywood’ to ‘Kanguwa’, ‘Alpha’ and many other films, he was flooded with offers. Now Akshaye Khanna’s future also seems to be similar, after his brilliant performances in Dhurandhar and Chhaava, it is only natural for him to turn towards characters which have depth. This new look of his can prove to be a big step towards the second inning of his career.

Thanks to its strong box office collection, real-life story and star-studded cast, ‘Dhurandhar’ is quickly becoming one of the most watched Hindi films of 2025. This film made huge earnings in the first weekend and even on weekdays this film is making waves and is tearing apart all the films every day.
