The veteran actor rejects ‘comeback’ chatter, calling the film’s momentum a once-in-a-lifetime surge.

  • Rakesh Bedi said Akshaye Khanna was always active in the industry, pushing back on the framing of his acclaimed turn as a comeback.
  • Bedi compared the film’s wave to rare runs like Baahubali, describing such success as difficult to repeat.
  • The sequel, Dhurandhar Part 2, has been scheduled for a March 19, 2026 theatrical release.
