After the news of Ranveer Singh’s exit from Farhan Akhtar’s much awaited action film ‘Don 3’, speculations had increased, in fact many people believed that the actor had left the film after the success of ‘Dhurandhar’. However, a new update has refuted these rumors and said that these claims are absolutely false. According to a new report, “The reason for Ranveer Singh’s exit from ‘Don 3’ is something else.

Farhan had expressed confidence in Ranveer
Actually, according to the report of India Today, a source has said that there is a misunderstanding regarding the situation related to the film. According to the report, the source revealed, “Actually, the story is different. Initially, Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar had offered him Don 3 after three big flops. He stood by Sanjay Leela Bhansali even after Baiju Bawra was shelved because he was considered unsellable at that time.”

Quoting the report, the source further said, “Don 3 is the most popular franchise, and Ranveer was playing the role of not only Shah Rukh Khan, but also veteran actors like Amitabh Bachchan. It is a dream role for any actor.” Talking about Farhan Akhtar’s faith in Ranveer, the source said, “Farhan was the only filmmaker who expressed faith in Ranveer while others backed out. This was at a time when Dhurandhar had not even released.”

Why did Ranveer Singh leave?‘Dhurandhar’?
It has been further clarified in the report that Ranveer Singh’s alleged leaving the film has no connection with the box office success of ‘Dhurandhar’. Rather, this happened due to creative differences with the film makers. According to the report, the source stressed that the decision was taken due to differences over demands. However, till now, neither Ranveer Singh nor the makers of ‘Don 3’ have issued any official statement regarding this.

Earlier, Kiara Advani had left the project following her pregnancy and childbirth, after which Kriti Sanon was reportedly cast. Amidst the success of ‘Dhurandhar’, Ranveer Singh was recently seen with wife Deepika Padukone at Mumbai airport late on Monday night. Dressed in matching black outfits, the couple was seen holding hands, smiling and waving to the paparazzi as they stepped out for their vacation.

Amidst the success of Dhurandhar, Akshay Khanna is enjoying his private life away from the limelight. He is at his bungalow in Alibaug. Now Akshay Khanna has conducted Havan in his Alibaug bungalow. He has conducted Vaastu Shanti Havan.

Karan Johar himself had told this that he was afraid of Akshay Khanna. Not anymore though. Recall that the year 2007 was when the 7th season of Karan Johar’s chit chat show ‘Koffee with Karan’ started. During this time, Akshay Khanna participated in the episode of the show.

Karan Johar had revealed

The interesting revelation between Akshay Khanna and Karan Johar in this episode is still remembered. Both of them remembered their childhood days. Karan told in the show that he was afraid of Akshay because in his childhood, Akshay was a little rude.

Both were neighbors in South Bombay and grew up together. Karan said that Akshay was a good player in badminton and often asked him to go out of the court.

After Chhava and Dhurandhar, will Shukracharya’s look surprise you?

After the films Chhaava and Dhurandhar, now the look of Akshay Khan’s upcoming film Mahakali is out. Mahakali is a mythological film, in which he will be seen playing the role of Shukracharya.

Different looks in films are not only important for cinematic effect but also from astrological point of view. There is something hidden in Akshay’s horoscope, which impacts his planetary position and the changing theme of the film.

Akshaye Khanna’s date of birth and planetary combination

Bollywood actor Akshaye Khanna was born on 28 March 1975. His sun sign is Aries whose lord is Mars. Mars is considered to be the planet of aggression, intensity, strategy and leadership. Silent aggression is clearly visible in any person in whose horoscope Mars is strong.

That is to say, such people are not very talkative, they like to remain quiet. Mind your own business. Which is clearly visible somewhere in the personality of Akshay Khanna. Akshay also likes to stay away from media gossip, controversies and interviews.

His birth number is 28 (2+8= 10-1). According to numerology, number 1 is related to the Sun. Sun controls the Soul, Authority and Emotional Depth of the person. due to which the person

• Tremendous presence on screen
• anger control
• short but powerful expression
• Most importantly, perfect fit for a dark and psychological role.

This is the reason, his role in the film Dhurandhar is being signed by all the other actors. If we talk about films based on mythological themes like Mahakali, then in such roles his face portrays divine anger very well. This is the result of the actual energy of the planets.

What does the influence of planets say?

The year 2025-26 may prove to be interesting for Akshay Khanna in terms of film career. This is because the influence of Saturn is pushing them towards intense characters. When Saturn is active in the horoscope of an artist, it gives 3 things-

• Dark and intense characters
• long lasting performance
• Small but impactful projects

If seen, the most important elements in films based on themes like Mahakali are destruction, justice, darkness and control and these four elements are under the influence of Saturn. For this reason, during the influence of Saturn, an actor’s choice to do films with dark, vengeful and mythological themes like Mahakali is not limited to just getting the movie, but it is also the role of the planets.

Astrological significance of Shukracharya look in Mahakali movie

Will play the role of Shukracharya in Akshay Khanna’s upcoming film Mahakali. In this look, special care has been taken of three colors to reflect a special kind of energy. Symbolizes anger (Mars), darkness (Saturn) and mystery (Rahu). All three things are clearly visible in this look of Akshay’s Shukracharya.

• The fierceness in the eyes reflects Mars.
• The stability and deep calm of the face reflects Saturn.
• While Rahu refers to mystery and psychological depth.
