After impressing everyone with his role as Aurangzeb in Chhaava, fans were waiting to know more about his character in Dhurandhar. Amidst it all, filmmaker Prasanth Varma took to his official social media handle to unveil Khanna’s first glimpse as Asuraguru Shukracharya in his upcoming film Mahakali, leaving the internet buzzing with excitement.

Opening up about his character, a source close to the production told Hindustan Times, “All we could reveal was that his role would add intrigue and depth to the growing PVCU universe. His role would span across multiple films in the franchise and would prove to be an exciting addition. We were hoping Mahakali would be received as well as HanuMan was.”

On the work front, Akshaye Khanna was last seen on the big screen as the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in Laxman Utekar’s movie Chhaava, co-starring Vicky Kaushal. He will be next seen in Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and others.
