Akshaye Khanna left Drishyam 3 a day before Dhurandhar release!!!

So all the negative campaign by Mangat and his son to defame Akshaye claiming he left due to Dhurandhar success is so preposterous. I am very happy to see so many coming out in support of Akshaye from the industry and even on social media cause the son and father have been down right filthy in attacking Akshaye.

The director himself refused to elaborate about Akshaye leaving the project... he just stated that he is writing another role that would replace that of Akshaye in D2 (which shouldn't be such a difficult thing).

Nevertheless, Akshaye's decision apparently came as a surprise and on a really short notice (at least to the director).
