Akshaye Khanna entry scene in Dhurandhar: Akshaye Khanna’s explosive entry in Dhurandhar has become one of the most-talked-about moments of the film, but it’s now been revealed that the actor performed the viral sequence under extremely challenging conditions. While the Ranveer Singh-starrer has been performing steadily at the box office, Akshaye’s electrifying dance in the FA9LA track has taken on a life of its own online.
However, a startling behind-the-scenes detail has surfaced. His now-famous celebration dance was filmed while he was relying on an oxygen mask between shots. Scroll down to read more!
The film, directed by Aditya Dhar, was shot across several difficult terrains, including Ladakh, where the Balochistan sequences were recreated. Due to the region’s high altitude, cast and crew members are usually advised to rest on their first day. Akshaye, however, wasn’t spared from altitude sickness.
According to the film’s choreographer Vijay Ganguly, the actor struggled the moment he arrived on location and had to keep a portable oxygen cylinder with him throughout the shoot.
He further explained that the situation became more serious while filming the viral entry. He shared that Akshaye’s oxygen levels dropped significantly during the shoot, prompting the team to pause after almost every shot so he could use his oxygen mask. “He kept a small oxygen cylinder with him. When this song was being shot, his oxygen level had dropped a lot. So, after every shot, he’d put on the oxygen mask,” he revealed. The actor reportedly wrapped the demanding sequence and returned home immediately after filming the scene.
Directed by Aditay Dhar, Dhurandhar hit the theatres on December 5, and boasts a talented star cast including Ranveer Singh, Rajat Bedi, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, R Madhavan and Gaurav Gera. Jio Studios on Monday (December 9) took to their official X handle to reveal the massive collection of Dhurandhar in its first weekend. The film earned Rs 130.80 crore net in India in its first four days of release. It earned Rs 28.60 crore on its opening day, followed by Rs 33.10 crore and Rs 44.80 crore over the weekend. The total domestic haul of the Ranveer Singh-starrer now stands at Rs 130.80 crore net.
