Akshay Kumar joins Dhurandhar meme party, jokes about discovering Akshaye Khanna

The release of Dhurandhar on December 5, 2025 marked a significant moment in Akshaye Khanna's career, as the film quickly became a topic of discussion among audiences and industry watchers alike. The film's success also reignited conversations about Khanna's earlier work, particularly his dynamic with Akshay Kumar in Tees Maar Khan.
A recent trend on social media saw fans referencing the playful relationship between the two actors in Tees Maar Khan (2010). In the film, Kumar’s character -- a thief impersonating a renowned director -- goes to great lengths to convince Khanna's character that he is 'Oscar-level' material. This dynamic has resurfaced as fans celebrate Khanna’s renewed popularity.

During this wave of appreciation, a fan posted on X, "Thank you director saab, for giving the nation such an amazing actor." The post quickly caught Kumar's attention, who responded with his own witty remark: "Kabhi ghamand nahi kiya bhai kabhi ghamand nahi kiya."
In a separate post, Kumar showed public support for Dhurandhar. Sharing his reaction on X, he wrote, "Watched Dhurandhar and I am blown away. What a gripping tale, and you have simply nailed it, Aditya Dhar. We need our stories to be told in a hard-hitting way and I am so glad that audiences are giving the film all the love it deserves."
Within just seven days, Dhurandhar crossed the Rs 200 crore mark in India, highlighting its strong box office run despite facing criticism for its violence and gore. The Aditya Dhar directorial has been appreciated for its strong casting, storytelling and music. Khanna's Rahman Dakait has especially stood out, adding to the upward momentum of the film at the ticket window.
