అగ్ని ప్రమాదం లో 50 మంది ప్రాణాలు కాపాడిన బాలుడు

One of the most talked-about performances in the blockbuster Dhurandhar is undoubtedly Akshaye Khanna’s role. More than even the film’s hero Ranveer Singh, it was Akshaye’s portrayal of Rahman Dekait that struck a chord with audiences. The character’s powerful screen presence, combined with the haunting intro music played at key moments in the film, has turned into a sensation among fans.

Interestingly, industry buzz suggests that this impactful role was initially offered to Telugu star Nagarjuna Akkineni. At the time, Nagarjuna was already committed to playing a negative role as the main antagonist in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie, starring Superstar Rajinikanth. Along with that, he was also juggling other projects, including Sekhar Kammula’s Kubera. Due to these commitments, it is said that Nagarjuna had to turn down director Aditya Dhar’s offer.

After witnessing Akshaye Khanna’s performance, it’s natural to wonder whether Nagarjuna could have brought the same intensity to Rahman Dekait, a character rooted in Karachi’s Lyari gang. Akshaye received widespread praise for his intense acting, controlled voice modulation, and convincing grasp of the Balochi-Urdu slang. While Nagarjuna might not have approached the role in the same manner, there’s little doubt he would have added his own distinctive interpretation.

Adding to the film’s trivia, the much-discussed item song in Dhurandhar was reportedly offered to several A-list actresses before being turned down. Eventually, Krystle D’Souza and Ayesha Khan stepped in, and both are now enjoying the renewed attention and popularity that came with the film’s success.
