Overview
- On Thursday, September 10, 2026, Farah Khan told choreographers Bosco and Caesar on their Dance Masti podcast that Akshaye Khanna was once “very difficult” to work with and “very irritable.”
- Farah said she at one point refused to choreograph his songs but praised a turnaround after Dil Chahta Hai, calling his work in Tees Maar Khan “too good” and saying he is a very good dancer.
- Coverage notes that Khanna’s recent performance as Rehman Dakait in Dhurandhar triggered strong social‑media reaction and renewed public interest in his filmography.
- Reporters link that renewed attention to several career moves: his reported exit from the Drishyam franchise, a role in Netflix’s Ikka, and a scheduled theatrical release of Mahakali on January 8, 2027.
- The remarks revive an industry pattern where a viral performance prompts retrospective anecdotes about on‑set behavior and could increase focus on Khanna’s upcoming releases and public appearances.
