The film 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge', released on March 19, 2026, has garnered significant attention not only for its performances but also for its casting journey. Casting director Mukesh Chhabra revealed that the role of Rehman Dakait, played by Akshaye Khanna, was initially turned down by three actors, including one from the South film industry and two from Bollywood. They expressed concerns about the ensemble nature of the film, which centers on Ranveer Singh's character. After these rejections, Khanna quickly agreed to take on the role after hearing the script, showcasing his instinctive decision-making style. The casting process was extensive, requiring nearly two years and involving around 400 roles. The film has performed exceptionally well at the box office, crossing ₹1,492 crore globally within two weeks of its release.
