Kareena Kapoor used to have a crush on Akshaye Khanna.
Akshaye Khanna has been grabbing headlines ever since the release of Dhurandhar. Fans are impressed by Akshaye Khanna’s performance, and some even believe that he stole every frame he was in. Amid this praise, an old video of Kareena Kapoor gushing over the actor and his craft has resurfaced.
In the resurfaced video, Kareena said, “I have watched Himalay Putra at least 20 times because at that time I was in school and Akshaye Khanna was the latest heartthrob. Toh ladkiyan unke peeche pagal thi and usmein main bhi thi (Girls were crazy about him, and one of them was me too).”
She continued, “It was like ‘Akshaye Khanna, I am a bachelor, I am a bachelor, My God Akshaye Khanna’, so it was like that. So I have always liked Akshaye.” She added, “He is so cute, adorable and such a good human being. He is such a wonderful actor; he is the right person to go to Hollywood because his performances are mind-blowing.”
Meanwhile, Dhurandhar has been making waves with its performances and screen time. Directed and written by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar features a powerhouse cast including Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi.
Ranveer Singh plays Hamza Ali Mazari, a young man who infiltrates Rehman Dakait’s (Akshaye Khanna) gang while secretly working as a spy for India. He later marries Yalina (Sara Arjun), the daughter of politician Jameel Jamali (Rakesh Bedi), adding layers to the intense narrative inspired by real-life incidents such as Operation Lyari.
The two-part spy thriller has a reported budget of Rs 275 crore and clocks in at 214 minutes (3 hours 34 minutes), making it one of the longest Indian films to date. Despite mixed reviews from critics, audiences have embraced the film for its gripping storytelling, action sequences, and Ranveer Singh’s compelling performance. The second part of the film is slated for release on March 19, 2026, promising to continue the high-octane spy saga.
