After impressing viewers with his performance in ‘Chhaava’, Akshaye Khanna has once again captured the internet’s attention with his menacing turn as Rehman Dakait in ‘Dhurandhar’. Social media is overflowing with edits, memes, and fan posts celebrating his screen presence. But since Akshaye stays away from social media, many fans wondered whether he even knew about this sudden wave of admiration. Thankfully, Farah Khan has taken charge of that.
Farah Khan makes sure Akshaye gets the updates
A meme page recently posted a picture of Akshaye’s stylish look as Rehman Dakait, turban, sunglasses, and all. The caption jokes, “Does Akshaye Khanna know he’s getting all this attention?”Farah Khan, who previously directed him in ‘Tees Maar Khan’, jumped into the comments section with a witty reply:“I’m sending him the TMK memes 😂.” Her lighthearted comment quickly went viral on Reddit, where users appreciated her for being Akshaye’s unofficial link to the internet. Fans wrote things like, “Farah Khan is a vibe,” and “We need ‘TMK 2’ with the same cast.” Others even joked that Farah should feature Akshaye in her next cooking vlog.
Rehman Dakait’s entry has taken over the internet
Akshaye’s intense, ruthless portrayal of Rehman Dakait has struck a chord with viewers. His swagger-filled entry set to Flipperachi’s ‘Fa9la’ has become a massive trend, spawning countless reels and fan edits. Many are calling it one of the coolest villain introductions in recent memory.
