Drishyam 3 is all set to release on October 2nd, 2026. The first instalment was released back in 2015, the next one in 2022, and now, with the announcement of its third instalment in 2026, the film is creating all the deserved buzz amongst the fans. But, to the fans’ disappointment, reports suggest that Akshaye Khanna has walked out of Drishyam 3 following the massive success of Dhurandhar.
Dhurandhar had an unexpected success this year. The film has crossed 700 crores at the box office, marking a definite shift in the world of cinema. That’s that: Akshaye Khanna got his due from netizens after years of hard work, thanks to his panache in the film Dhurandhar, where he played the role of Rehman Dakait. Akshaye Khanna has been one of the most underrated actors in the country, and now that he has finally received what he deserved all these years, it is a treat to the eyes.
Coming back to Drishyam, Akshaye Khanna joined the franchise in the second instalment. However, right after the teaser dropped, it’s being reported that the actor has decided to walk out. According to the reports, he walked out of the franchise due to creative differences and a ‘disagreement’ over his remuneration. Given the success of Dhurandhar, Akshaye Khanna reportedly urged for a fee hike, along with some changes to his onscreen look, per DNA.
