Akshaye Khanna's impromptu dance moves in the recently released film Dhurandhar have taken the internet by storm, sparking a wave of admiration and comparisons to other Bollywood stars. The film, which hit theaters on December 5, 2025, is already generating buzz, especially surrounding Akshaye Khanna's electrifying entry sequence.
The specific scene that has gone viral features Khanna's character, Rehman Dakait, arriving to meet with his Balochi associates during a deal with ISIS. Dressed in a sharp black suit, he steps out of a car and greets the crowd before unexpectedly joining in with the traditional dance performance unfolding before him. The actor's unique and energetic moves to the hip-hop track "Fa9la" by Bahraini rapper Flipperachi have resonated with audiences, leading to widespread praise and shares across social media platforms. The makers of the film, recognizing the popularity of the clip, swiftly released the full song online.
Adding to the intrigue, Akshaye Khanna's co-star, Danish Pandor, who plays Uzair Baloch in Dhurandhar, revealed that the now-famous dance was entirely unscripted and improvised on the spot. According to Pandor, the scene was filmed in Leh Ladakh, with Vijay Ganguly handling the choreography for the song. While the choreography was being planned, Akshaye Khanna reportedly asked director Aditya Dhar if he could add his own dance elements. Dhar gave Khanna free rein, and the result was the spontaneous performance that has captured the internet's attention.
Pandor recounted the moment, stating that everyone on set was stunned by Khanna's improvisation. He noted that Khanna's moves were met with applause and that the frames looked fantastic. Pandor praised Khanna's talent, emphasizing that he did it all on his own.
The unexpected dance sequence has not only amplified the film's popularity but has also led to fans drawing comparisons between Akshaye Khanna and Ranveer Singh, another prominent Bollywood actor known for his energetic dance performances. Some fans have even declared Khanna's moves to be superior, fueling online discussions and further boosting the viral nature of the clip.
Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar, is a spy action thriller where Akshaye Khanna's portrayal of Rehman Dakait, described as a powerful Pakistani crime lord and politician, has been particularly well-received. The film stars Ranveer Singh in the lead role, with Danish Pandor playing a significant supporting role.
