Akshaye Khanna walks out of ‘Drishyam 3’
In a surprising development, Akshaye Khanna has reportedly exited ‘Drishyam 3’, the final instalment of the hugely successful thriller franchise. Khanna, who delivered a widely praised performance as the sharp and calculating IG Tarun Ahlawat in ‘Drishyam 2’, was expected to reprise his role as the investigation intensified in the concluding chapter.
According to industry chatter, the actor stepped away from the project due to creative differences and scheduling issues as the film moved into its next phase of production. His departure comes at a crucial time, with the makers preparing for an extensive shoot and gearing up for the film’s 2026 release.
While Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Shriya Saran and the rest of the principal cast remain on board, Khanna’s absence marks a notable shift for the franchise, given the impact his character had on the previous film.
