Now Jaideep Ahlawat has taken his place. By the grace of God, we have got a better actor than Akshay, and most importantly, we have got a better person than Akshay. I had produced one of the early films of Jaideep’s career, Aakrosh (2010).”

Why did Akshaye Khanna leave Drishyam 3?
Kumar Mangat Pathak told Bollywood Hungama, “We had made an agreement with Akshay Khanna. His fee was also fixed after several talks. He insisted that he would like to wear a wig.

He further said, “He understood our point and agreed to give up his demand. However, people around him advised him that wearing a wig would make him look smarter. So he made the same request again. Abhishek agreed and was even ready to talk to him about it. But then he told us that he did not want to be a part of the film at all.”
