Dhurandhar 2 Teaser Shows No Glimpse Of Akshaye Khanna! WATCH

The long-awaited teaser for Dhurandhar: The Revenge (Dhurandhar 2) was released today, February 3, 2026, at 12:12 PM. While the visuals showcase a grittier, blood-soaked Ranveer Singh, the reception has been a mix of adrenaline and vocal disappointment from fans who feel a massive “Akshaye Khanna-shaped hole” in the narrative.

Fans Cry Foul Over Akshaye Khanna’s Absence in ‘Dhurandhar 2’ Teaser

Following the record-breaking success of the first film, which minted over Rs 1,300 crore, expectations for the sequel were sky-high. However, as the 1-minute 48-second teaser rolled out, social media was quickly flooded with the question: “Where is Rehman Dakait?”

The “Empty” Teaser Controversy

Despite featuring a powerhouse cast including Sanjay Dutt (SP Chaudhary Aslam), R. Madhavan (Ajay Sanyal), and Arjun Rampal (Major Iqbal), fans noted that the teaser felt “hollow” without Akshaye Khanna.

• The Ghost of Rehman: Akshaye’s portrayal of the cold-blooded Rehman Dakait was widely considered the standout performance of the first part.
• Netizen Backlash: One viral post on X (formerly Twitter) summed up the mood: “Without Akshaye Khanna, it feels empty. Ranveer is great, but Akshaye’s aura was the soul of Dhurandhar.”
• “Scam” Accusations: Further fueling the fire, many viewers complained that the teaser consisted largely of the same footage shown in the post-credits of the first film, leading some to joke that director Aditya Dhar had “scammed” them with recycled clips.

Will Akshaye Khanna Return?

While Ranveer’s character, Jaskirat (Hamza), killed Rehman in the first installment, it has been confirmed that Akshaye Khanna will appear in flashback sequences. Ranveer even tagged Khanna in his official poster reveal this morning, signaling that the late gangster’s legacy—and his impact on Hamza’s backstory—will be central to the “Revenge” arc.
