Overview
- An archival video from a 1989 Lahore charity event featuring Vinod Khanna with Rekha, Imran Khan and Javed Miandad has been widely recirculated online.
- Viewers on social platforms have juxtaposed the clip with Akshaye Khanna’s Dhurandhar introduction and some posts claim he copied his father’s moves.
- Choreographer Vijay Ganguly says the original plan did not include dancing and that Akshaye decided on the spot to add the moves.
- Ganguly also notes Akshaye used a small oxygen cylinder between takes while filming the sequence in Ladakh due to low oxygen levels.
- Co-actor Danish Pandor credits the crowd-pleasing steps as fully improvised, while the entry track FA9LA by Flipperachi has seen renewed popularity since the film’s December 5 release.
