Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar has been praised for numerous elements since its release, including the performances of its cast. While Akshaye Khanna’s moments from the film, particularly his dance to Flipperachi’s FA9LA, have gone viral, R Madhavan re-shared a meme that compared his performance to Akshaye’s.
R Madhavan re-shares meme comparing his performance to Akshaye Khanna’s
Madhavan recently re-shared a meme on his X (formerly Twitter) account that uses a famous scene from the 2019 film Ford v Ferrari to make a point. It shows Madhavan standing on the sidelines as Akshaye receives all the love from the crowd. But when he looks up, ‘true cinephiles’ can be seen tipping a hat to his performance and his ‘remarkable transformation on screen’. Madhavan re-shared the meme on his account without adding anything to it.
“Meanwhile Rakesh Bedi,” wrote one X user in the comments of the meme, pointing out that he had also performed well. “He acted so well that people don’t even realised that he was R. madhavan,” wrote another. One fan hoped, “He will get his due in the second part. Hopefully Rakesh Bedi too.” Some wondered if people were overlooking Arjun Rampal’s performance, too. “Fact that, Akshay khanna really brilliant,” defended one person.
