In a new twist, the Drishyam 3 controversy involving Akshaye Khanna has taken a shocking turn. Producer Kumar Mangat Pathak went on to claim that Akshaye Khanna demanded
₹ 21 crores to return for the third part of the franchise.
Statements also surfaced saying Akshaye demanded a wig and stayed firm on his conditions. This standoff eventually led to a fallout amid the actor and the producer, pushing the project into uncertainty.
Surprising reaction followed by users who accused Akshaye Khanna of becoming arrogant after the success of Dhurandhar. They felt his recent wins may have affected his attitude and decision-making.
However, users were shocked again after learning that Akshaye Khanna made an exit from Drishyam 3 before Dhurandhar hit the theatres. He even walked out a day before the film’s release, confident it would succeed.
Reports also state that monetary issue was not the real reason for Akshaye Khanna’s exit. As per claims, Akshaye had already anticipated Dhurandhar’s success while discussions around Drishyam 3 were still ongoing.
This led many to believe that Kumar Pathak is pushing a false narrative to damage the actor’s reputation. You see growing opinion that the public accusations are meant to shift blame following Akshaye Khanna’s exit.
Adding to the controversy, an old video of the writer of Section 375 is being widely shared. In it, he speaks about Akshaye Khanna’s alleged negative attitude and work approach, further fuelling debate.
Many feel this situation could have been handled privately and with restraint. Instead, y are seeing public statements from Kumar Pathak being viewed as crossing the line.
There is still no official response from Akshaye Khanna. Until that happens, one is left watching this rivalry unfold, with the real truth still unclear.
