Was it not Akshay but this South Star who was offered 'Dhurandar'? Revealed the truth, said - I wish...
The article discusses how Akshay Khanna shone in the film 'Dhurandar' and addresses a rumor that South actor Nagarjuna was initially offered a role in the movie, which he later clarified was not the case.
The film 'Dhurandar', directed by Aditya Dhar, features notable performances, particularly by Akshay Khanna, who has garnered praise for his role, even overshadowing lead actor Ranveer Singh. Upon the film's release, discussions surrounding Khanna's performance dominated, with many stating he deserves an Oscar for his work. His portrayal of the character Rahman Daku has received significant attention, marking a pivotal moment in his career as he transitions into a recognized star in the industry.
Recently, a rumor circulated on social media suggesting that Nagarjuna, a prominent South Indian actor, was originally offered the role of Rahman Daku before it went to Khanna. This claim gained traction but has since been disproven. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Nagarjuna clarified that he was never offered the role and expressed his admiration for the film, stating that he would have liked the opportunity, as he believes 'Dhurandar' is an incredible movie with impressive direction by Aditya Dhar.
This clarification helps to shed light on the competitive nature of filmcasting and the sometimes misleading information that can circulate on social media. The revelation underscores the recognition of Akshay Khanna's talent and the film's success, while also highlighting Nagarjuna's respect for the project and its director. As the conversation around 'Dhurandar' continues, the performances and contributions of all actors involved will likely remain a significant topic of discussion in the Indian film industry.
