Casting director\u00a0Mukesh Chhabra\u00a0has sparked fresh curiosity around\u00a0Dhurandhar\u00a0with his latest revelation about the casting process. In a recent interaction, he shared that three actors had rejected the role of Rehman Dakait, which was eventually played by\u00a0Akshaye Khanna.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, Mukesh revealed that one of those actors was from the South, while the other two were from Bollywood. He refrained from naming them but mentioned that the actors cited weird logic, saying the film had an ensemble cast and that it was primarily a\u00a0Ranveer Singh\u00a0film.<\/p>\n
This has now triggered speculation about the identity of the South actor who passed on what is being called a lifetime opportunity. Several names are doing the rounds on social media, with some reports earlier hinting that\u00a0Nagarjuna Akkineni\u00a0was approached for the role.\u00a0However, there has been no reliable confirmation to support this claim.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Industry insiders believe the role required a strong, layered performer, which eventually worked in Akshaye Khanna\u2019s favor.\u00a0\u00a0While the mystery remains unsolved, the revelation has only added to the buzz around\u00a0Dhurandhar, making fans even more curious about the film and its casting choices.<\/p>\n
