Akshaye Khanna is reported to have asked a question about the role before agreeing to play Dhurandhar. According to a casting director, Khanna was initially unsure and requested context before saying yes.
The reports say the casting team shared details about the character and the project, which helped Khanna make his decision. Across the coverage provided, the focus stays on the actor’s first step in verifying what the part would require rather than on the film’s plot or his performance. The emphasis is on the casting and approval process, including how questions from the actor shape final casting choices.
While the accounts do not add differing claims about specific scenes or creative differences, they consistently highlight that Khanna’s acceptance follows an initial pause and inquiry. The sourcing remains centered on the casting director’s disclosure rather than on on-the-record statements from the actor or director.
