The vintage Akshaye Khanna smirks were sprinkled on the heinous demeanour of this dreaded gangster.<\/p>\n<p>Dhar allows his actor to chew the scenery and fascinatingly fulfills his wish of starring in an action film. There\u2019s swag even in his sorrows. He dies a painful death in an encounter that happens in 2009 in the film, inspired by real-life events and incidents.<\/p>\n<p>Who was Rahman Dakait?<\/p>\n<p>Dakait\u2019s real name was Sardar Abdul Rehman Baloch. He established his dominance with his henchmen in Lyari. He was into drug peddling right during his teens and committed his first crime at the age of 13. We are told in the film he murdered his own mother. He was 34 when he died in an encounter. His cousin Uzair took command of his gang after his death.<\/p>\n<p>STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD<a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstpost.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Home<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstpost.com\/entertainment\/\" title=\"Entertainment\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Entertainment<\/a>&#8216;Animal&#8217; director Sandeep Reddy Vanga heaps praises on Aditya Dhar&#8217;s &#8216;Dhurandhar&#8217;: &#8216;Akshaye Khanna and Ranveer Singh erased into air and&#8230;&#8217;End of Article<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"And the captain of the ship replied- \u201cComing from you, this means a great deal.
