Akshaye Khanna's Massive Line-up After Dhurandhar: From Drishyam 3 to a Reported Series with Sunny Deol; Check Out the List

The internet has found its new favourite superstar in Akshaye Khanna. Following the thunderous success of his villainous act in Dhurandhar, the actor is reportedly flooded with offers. Here is a look at his potential upcoming movies and shows.

Akshaye Khanna is currently enjoying a career-defining phase. His portrayal of Sher-E-Baloch in Aditya Dhar's spy-thriller has not only won critical acclaim but has also revitalized his demand in the industry. While fans are still raving about his performance, industry insiders suggest that the actor is gearing up for a busy slate ahead. From confirmed sequels to high-profile discussions, Akshaye is all set to dominate the screens in the coming years.

The most obvious addition to his list is Dhurandhar 2. With the makers officially announcing the sequel for a March 2026 release, it is widely expected that Akshaye will return to reprise his role. Given the massive fan demand and the open-ended nature of his character arc in the first part, the sequel will likely revolve heavily around his return. Reports suggest that his character will be even more menacing in the second chapter titled Revenge.

Another major project that has everyone excited is Drishyam 3. The franchise is one of the most successful thrillers in Indian cinema, and Akshaye's entry as the sharp-witted IG in the second part was a game-changer. Buzz indicates that the script for the final chapter is in advanced stages. Akshaye's character is expected to play a crucial role in the conclusion as he makes one final attempt to outsmart Vijay Salgaonkar. This face-off is something the audience is eagerly waiting to witness.

Apart from franchises, the actor is reportedly in talks for some intense dramas. There is strong speculation about him joining the cast of the courtroom thriller Section 84. While discussions are reportedly ongoing, seeing him in a legal drama would be a delight for his admirers. Furthermore, riding high on the success of the spy genre, he is reportedly being approached for an Untitled Spy Thriller where he might play another intense antagonist, proving that his Dhurandhar success was no fluke.

Perhaps the most exciting update concerns his next big venture in the digital space. Akshaye Khanna is all set to star in the high-octane action thriller film titled Ikka which is being developed as a direct-to-OTT release for Netflix. This project marks a historic collaboration as it brings him back together with his Border co-star Sunny Deol after a massive gap of 28 years. Currently in the shooting stage, the film is helmed by director Siddharth P Malhotra. With an expected release in 2026, this Netflix original promises to be a treat for fans waiting to see this powerful duo share the screen again.
