Actor Akshaye Khanna has received massive attention for his role as Rehman Dakait in the spy action thriller Dhurandhar, with social media erupting with memes and viral clips, especially his fierce look in a turban and sunglasses and his dance entry to the Flipperachi song Fa9la.
Since the actor is not active on social media, fans wondered if he was even aware of the huge buzz. Filmmaker Farah Khan provided the answer that delighted the internet.
