The digital world is buzzing with a single question: Is Rehman Dakait really coming back? Following the massive success of Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar, recent reports have ignited a firestorm of speculation regarding Akshaye Khanna’s involvement in the upcoming sequel, Dhurandhar 2.
While the first film seemingly concluded the journey of the feared Pakistani gangster, new claims suggest the makers aren’t quite ready to say goodbye to the character that became a national sensation.
According to a trending report by Filmfare, the creative team behind the franchise is looking to capitalize on the “Rehman Dakait mania” that took over social media. Although his character met a decisive end at the hands of Ranveer Singh’s Hamza, the report suggests Khanna may return for a short one-week shoot.
“The buzz is that the makers want to explore the character’s origins. If these reports are to be believed, Akshaye will film new scenes specifically designed to provide a deeper look into Rehman’s backstory, adding more layers to the lore of Lyari,” a source stated.
Official Confirmation Still Awaited
Despite the excitement, it is important to note that neither Aditya Dhar nor the production house has officially confirmed Khanna’s casting for the sequel.
Industry insiders urge fans to take the news with a grain of salt. While the “Rehman Dakait” dance to Fa9La and his cold, calculating demeanor made him the standout star of the first film, the narrative challenge of bringing back a deceased character—even via flashbacks—is significant.
Dhurandhar 2 is currently one of the most anticipated films in Indian cinema, following the first part’s historic ₹1,200 crore global box office run. The sequel is locked for a March 19, 2026 release, coinciding with Eid, and is set to be a massive pan-India release in five languages.
Whether Akshaye Khanna actually steps back into the shoes of the Baloch gangster remains to be seen, but the mere suggestion has been enough to keep the Dhurandhar hype at an all-time high. To know such latest updates tuned to tellyboosters.com Thank you!
