Dhurandhar 2: Akshaye Khanna To Return As Rehman Dakait; Check Out His Story Line

According to a report in Filmfare, Akshaye Khanna will return to Dhurandhar 2. He will soon be shooting for the film for a week. However, there is no official confirmation about this.

The report also states that although Rehman the dakait died in ‘Dhurandhar,’ the makers have made firm plans to feature him in the second part. It is being reported that the makers are planning to expand Akshaye Khanna’s character and reveal his backstory.

Since the release of Aditya Dhar’s “Dhurandhar” on December 5, 2025, the most talked-about character in the film has been Rehman the dacoit. Akshaye Khanna has been widely praised for his portrayal of the role.

Thanks to a brilliant story and powerful performances by Akshaye Khanna and the rest of the star cast, “Dhurandhar” earned such a massive amount that it became Bollywood’s highest-grossing film in the country. Reports suggest the film’s budget was approximately ₹225 crore (approximately $2.25 billion), yet it grossed over ₹866 crore (approximately $8.66 billion) in India. The film’s earnings are still ongoing.

Akshaye Khanna’s upcoming films include “Dhurandhar Part 2,” releasing on March 19, 2026. He will also be seen in the role of demon guru Shukracharya in director Pooja Appama Kolluru’s mythological thriller “Mahakali.” Reports suggest he will also play a key role in Tamil director Nanda Kumar’s “Rojakaal.” Both of these films are also expected to release in 2026.
