Akshaye Khanna’s ‘Dhurandhar’ Entry Goes Viral: Co-Star Reveals The Electrifying Dance Was 100% Improvised
Ranveer Singh–starrer Dhurandhar has taken the box office by storm since its December 5 release, but amidst the high-octane action and espionage drama, one specific moment has hijacked social media. Akshaye Khanna’s entry sequence as the menacing Rehman Dakait is drawing thunderous applause, and in a surprising twist, co-star Danish Pandor has revealed that the scene’s most iconic moment was completely unscripted.
Announcement: "Can I Dance?"
The scene in question features Akshaye Khanna, emanating a chilling charisma, stepping into a celebration and spontaneously joining the dancers. Danish Pandor, who plays Uzair Baloch (Rehman’s cousin) in the film, recently spilled the beans in an interview with Filmygyan. He disclosed that while a full choreography was planned for the background dancers, Akshaye’s participation was a spur-of-the-moment decision by the actor himself.
“He did all of that on his own,” Danish shared, clearly still impressed. “Full choreography was happening and in the middle of that Akshaye sir asked Aditya [Dhar], ‘Can I dance?’ Aditya said, ‘Whatever you feel like doing.’ So everyone is dancing and he looks at everyone and then he starts dancing on his own. And we were all awestruck.”
The result is a sequence that feels dangerously organic—a glimpse into the unpredictable psyche of a crime lord who can switch from composure to celebration in a heartbeat.
Background: The Scene That Broke the Internet
In the now-viral sequence, Akshaye Khanna steps out of a car dressed in a sharp black suit, exuding an aura of quiet power. He greets the gathering with a composed salam before observing a traditional dance routine. Suddenly, breaking his stoic demeanor, he slides into the group, matching their rhythm with an effortless, almost eerie swagger, before taking his seat.
The track driving this frenzy is "FA9LA", a high-energy hip-hop number by Gulf-based artist Flipperachi. Released originally in 2024, the song’s title translates to "party" or "fun time" in the Bahraini dialect—a fittingly ironic backdrop for a character as volatile as Rehman Dakait. The track has seen a massive resurgence globally, with search volumes spiking immediately after the film’s release.
Industry Buzz: The ‘Jamal Kudu’ of 2025?
The audience reaction has been nothing short of euphoric. Social media is flooded with clips of the scene (officially released by the makers on X to capitalize on the hype), with fans drawing immediate comparisons to Bobby Deol’s viral Jamal Kudu entry in Animal.
One fan commented on X, “He comes once or twice a year, but what an actor. Does not stay in the limelight. Very, very underrated.” Another user wrote, “Absolute banger. Amazingly choreographed and shot—can’t believe it was improvised!”
Ranveer Singh, the film’s lead, also fueled the fire. He took to Instagram to share the clip, captioning it, “So here’s ‘THAT’ track from the movie. FLIPPERACHI,” acknowledging that while he plays the hero, this moment belonged entirely to the antagonist.
What’s Next: A Franchise in the Making
Dhurandhar is not just winning on social media; it’s winning at the ticket windows. The film, which follows an Indian spy infiltrating terror networks in Lyari, Pakistan, collected over ₹100 crore worldwide in its opening weekend, marking Ranveer Singh’s biggest opener in the post-pandemic era.
Riding high on this success, the makers have already confirmed that the saga is far from over. Dhurandhar 2 has been officially announced for release on March 19, 2026, promising the return of this gritty world. With R. Madhavan teasing a meatier role in the sequel and the universe expanding, fans are already counting down the days.
