Akshaye Khanna’s viral Dhurandhar dance was fully spontaneous: Actor Danish Pandor

Ranveer Singh–starrer Dhurandhar is drawing strong word-of-mouth after its December 5 release, especially for Akshaye Khanna’s electrifying entry sequence, a moment that actor Danish Pandor, who also stars in the film, revealed was entirely improvised by Akshaye. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the spy action thriller has been praised for Ranveer’s performance and Akshaye’s standout portrayal of Rehman Dakait, a powerful Pakistani crime lord and politician.

Pandor, who plays Uzair Baloch in the film, shared that Akshaye’s dance in the viral entry scene was completely spontaneous. “He did all of that on his own. Full choreography was happening and in the middle of that Akshaye sir asked Aditya, ‘can I dance?’ Aditya said, ‘whatever you feel like doing.’ So everyone is dancing and he looks at everyone and then he starts dancing on his own. And we were all awestruck,” Danish told Filmygyan.

In the scene, Akshaye Khanna, dressed in a crisp black suit, steps out of a car, greets the crowd with a composed salam, and watches dancers perform a traditional routine. He then unexpectedly joins in with a few steps before taking his seat, with Ranveer Singh sharing the frame.

The moment has gone viral on social media, prompting the makers to post the official clip on X. Fans flooded the comments with praise, calling the scene “Absolute banger. Amazingly choreographed and shot,” while another wrote, “He comes once or twice a year, but what an actor. Does not stay in the limelight. Very, very underrated.” Some even compared it to Bobby Deol’s Jamal Kudu moment from Animal.

The track used in the scene, FA9LA, performed by Gulf-based hip-hop artist Flipperachi, has also seen renewed global interest. Earlier, Ranveer Singh boosted the hype by sharing the clip on Instagram, writing, “So here’s ‘THAT’ track from the movie. FLIPPERACHI.”

Set in Pakistan, Dhurandhar follows an Indian spy who infiltrates terror networks in Lyari. The film’s ensemble cast includes Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Rakesh Bedi and debutante Sara Arjun.
