After much-awaited anticipation and buzz Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar has finally hit the theatres. This Aditya Dhar film has been dominating the headlines since its release. Besides Ranveer Singhs explosive comeback after almost two years Bollywood fans have been obsessively talking about the film for Akshaye Khannas entry sequence. His slick dance to Bahraini rapper Flipperachi’s hip-hop track Fa9La has set social media buzzing. However what many don’t know is that this dance the most talked about highlight of the film was not scripted at all. Rather it was pure improvisation by Akshaye Khanna something so spontaneous that it even left the cast and crew pleasantly surprised.

In a recent interaction Akshaye’s co-star and on-screen brother Danish Pandor opened up about that widely circulated moment. He revealed how Akshaye’s viral entry was not planned. The team was shooting in Leh Ladakh with Vijay Ganguly choreographing the song but everything changed when Akshaye took charge without warning.
Danish Pandor reveals Akshaye Khannas viral dance entry was improvised.
Recalling the exact moment Danish said “We shot this in Leh Ladakh and Vijay Ganguly was choreographing the whole song. We all heard the track and were stunned by how amazing it was. So Aditya sir was explaining the shot to Akshaye sir. The whole choreography was happening and in the middle of that Akshaye sir asked Aditya ‘Can I dance?’ Aditya sir said ‘Do whatever you like.’”

What happened next became cinematic magic. He said “Then there’s a take and we all enter and he looks at everyone dancing and he starts dancing on his own. There’s no choreography for him. Everyone was stunned like kya kar diya yeh inhone (what has he done). People started applauding so much after the shot; the frames were looking so good. He did it all on his own. He is terrific.”
Netizens on Akshaye Khannas entry sequence
As soon as the clip hit the internet fans couldn’t stop gushing over Akshaye’s confidence; they labelled it stylish effortless and iconic. The makers later released the full song after the snippet spread across social media. Akshaye’s character Rehman Dakait is seen meeting the Balochi community for an ISIS deal in the sequence.

This unplanned and unrehearsed moment of Akshaye Khanna shows how sometimes brilliance isn’t scripted but rather an impulse.
