Producer Reacts To Akshaye Khanna's Exit From Drishyam 3 and Confirms His Replacement

Mumbai, December 27 - Akshaye Khanna, who has been riding on the success of Dhurandhar, gave a major shock to the makers of the upcoming suspense thriller Drishyam 3 by exiting the film at the last moment. It was reported that the actor demanded high remuneration, among others, which wasn't met and eventually led the actor to exit the film. Now, Drishyam 3's producer Kumar Mangat Pathak has reacted to the news, and he has blasted Akshaye Khanna for his unprofessional behaviour. Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, the producer revealed what went on behind the scenes, accusing the actor of making unreasonable demands and stating that he plans to sue him. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) "We had signed an agreement with Akshaye Khanna. His fees also got locked after a lot of renegotiations from his side. He insisted that he would like to wear a wig. But (director) Abhishek Pathak convinced him that it wouldn't be practical, as it would result in continuity issues since Drishyam 3 is a sequel. He understood his point and agreed to let go of that demand. However, the chamchas around him advised him that he would look smarter if he donned a wig. So, he again requested the same. Abhishek relented and was even ready to discuss this point with him. But then, he informed us that he doesn't want to be a part of the film at all", the producer told the portal. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Kumar Mangat Pathak further said that he gave Akshaye a chance in Article 375 (2019) and then Drishyam 2 (2022). He said that the actor was nothing before those films, but started getting big projects after the second instalment of the Ajay Devgn-led franchise. He even said that Akshaye liked the script of Drishyam 3 and confidently said that it is a 500 crore film, and signed the film and took the advances, but 10 days before the shoot commenced, he left the movie. The filmmaker also confirmed the casting of Jaideep Ahlawat, who has replaced Akshaye Khanna. Directed by Abhishek Pathak, the movie also stars Tabu, Shriya Saran, Ishita Dutta, Mrunal Jadhav, and Rajat Kapoor in key roles. It is scheduled to release on October 2, 2026. Stay tuned...

According to the latest industry reports,power house performer Jaideep Ahlawat has officially joined the cast of Drishyam 3 and will play a character that introduces a significant new twist to the investigative trail. While some speculated he might be replacing Akshaye Khanna (who played IG Tarun Ahlawat in Drishyam 2), sources suggest Jaideep's role is a fresh addition designed to raise the stakes for Vijay Salgaonkar.The Paatal Lok star is set to play a pivotal and extremely exciting role that is expected to bring a fresh layer of intensity to the cat and mouse chase between Vijay Salgaonkar and the authorities. Following his massive success in projects like Jaane Jaan and Dhurandhar, Jaideep Ahlawat's inclusion is being seen as a major boost to the project.Reports suggest that Jaideep will begin shooting for the film in January 2026.While details about his character remain under wraps, sources indicate that he will share significant screen space with Ajay Devgn and Tabu, marking their first-ever collaboration.

MAJOR UPDATE: Akshaye Khanna Exits Drishyam 3. Success of Dhurandhar Triggers Massive Fee Hike and Creative Stand-Off

In a development that has sent shockwaves through the trade circuits, Akshaye Khanna has reportedly exited the highly anticipated franchise sequel, Drishyam 3. While the Drishyam series is known for its intricate plot twists on screen, the drama behind the scenes is currently grabbing all the headlines. According to reports (Source: BH), the primary reason for this departure is a significant disagreement over remuneration and specific creative preferences. Akshaye Khanna, who received immense acclaim and a massive box office boost following his pivotal role in the 2025 blockbuster Dhurandhar, has reportedly seen his market value skyrocket. Coming off the back of Dhurandhar's record-breaking run, the actor reportedly revised his acting fee to ₹21 Crore for Drishyam 3. Trade sources suggest that the makers (Panorama Studios and Viacom18 Studios) felt the revised fee would push the film's production budget beyond a sustainable limit. While Khanna's performance as IG Tarun Ahlawat in Drishyam 2 was a major highlight, the production team reportedly could not meet the new financial requirements. Beyond the financial aspects, the report indicates that additional creative differences surfaced during pre-production. A specific point of contention was Akshaye Khanna's request to wear a wig for his character in the third installment. The directorial and creative team was reportedly uncomfortable with this change, preferring to maintain the continuity of the character's look established in the previous film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With Akshaye Khanna's reported exit, the hunt for a new antagonist or a replacement for the investigative officer's role is likely to begin soon. As of now, the confirmed primary cast remains: Ajay Devgn as Vijay Salgaonkar,Tabu as Meera Deshmukh,Shriya Saran as Nandini Salgaonkarand Rajat Kapoor as Mahesh Deshmukh Drishyam 2 was a humongous success at the domestic box office, netting over ₹240 Crore in India and providing a much-needed boost to the industry post-pandemic. The chemistry and tension between Ajay Devgn and Akshaye Khanna were cited as a driving force for the sequel's repeat footfalls. The loss of Khanna is a creative blow, but the Drishyam brand remains one of the strongest pullers in Indian cinema. Historically, the franchise relies heavily on its screenplay and the Salgaonkar vs. The System trope. As Drishyam 3 moves through its production phase, the primary focus remains on protecting the film's climactic secrets. While trade buzz originally suggested a possible simultaneous release for both the Hindi and Malayalam versions to mitigate spoilers, current industry indications suggest that the Malayalam original starring Mohanlal is progressing on its own timeline, while Ajay Devgn's Hindi version remains firmly locked for its signature October 2, 2026 theatrical window. With Khanna's exit now looming, all eyes are on whether the producers will look for another powerhouse performer to maintain the high intensity face-off that fans have come to expect.

Top 10 Biggest Indian Grossers of 2025 At The Overseas Box Office

Mumbai, December 14 - The Indian films have had a decent year at the overseas box office, which showcased a striking mix of regional powerhouses and pan-Indian titles. From Tamil and Malayalam films punching above their weight to big-budget Hindi entertainers finding audiences abroad, the list below reflects not just star power but a widening global appetite for Indian cinema in multiple languages. Ranveer Singh-fronted Dhurandhar has made its way to the top of the list, after the unexpected super blockbuster run at the overseas box office. It has dethroned superstar Rajinikanth's Coolie, which looked like it would top the list before the arrival of Dhurandhar. The top 10 as a whole have pulled in approximately 1250 crore overseas. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A few trends stand out. South Indian films, particularly Tamil and Malayalam, continued to dominate the upper ranks, showing the sustained international reach of regional content, even though the Bollywood films dominated the overall chart with 5 titles. Big franchise and action titles such as L2: Empuraan and Kantara Chapter 1 also performed superbly, proving that sequels and spectacle remain reliable overseas earners. Meanwhile, comedies and mass entertainers like Housefull 5 and Good Bad Ugly indicate that the diaspora and local markets still make space for lighter, crowd-pleasing fare. Language diversity is another takeaway: the top ten biggest Indian overseas grossers include Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam and Kannada releases, demonstrating that language is less of a barrier overseas when a film has strong word-of-mouth, star appeal, or franchise recognition, even though some of the films in the list underperformed to their reputation.

Kartik Aaryan's Box Office Report Card: His Top 5 Hits Before TMMTMTTM

As the countdown begins for Christmas 2025, the industry is placing its bets on Kartik Aaryan's upcoming romantic comedy, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri (TMMTMTTM). The film promises to be a festive treat, marking a significant reunion for Kartik with director Sameer Vidwans (following Satyaprem Ki Katha) and co-star Ananya Panday, bringing back the chemistry that sparked interest in Pati Patni Aur Woh. To understand the magnitude of this release, we must look at Kartik's track record. Here are the Top 5 biggest hits of his career , cementing his status as a bankable superstar. The crown jewel of his career is undoubtedly the recent blockbuster Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (2024). Released during the competitive Diwali window, this horror-comedy saw Kartik return as Rooh Baba to face off against Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit, with Triptii Dimri as the romantic lead. Directed by the comedy veteran Anees Bazmee, the film shattered records with an India Net Collection of ₹260.11 Cr and a Worldwide gross of over ₹400 Cr. With a budget of approximately ₹150–195 Cr, it earned a Super Hit verdict, proving that Kartik can anchor a massive franchise tentpole. Holding the second spot is the film that arguably saved the Hindi box office post-pandemic: Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022). Stepping into a franchise previously led by Akshay Kumar was a daunting task, but Kartik made it his own. Directed by Anees Bazmee and produced by T-Series, the film starred Kiara Advani and Tabu in pivotal roles. Made on a budget of roughly ₹ 80 Cr, it defied all odds to collect ₹ 184.32 Cr (India Net) and ₹ 265.5 Cr (Worldwide). The film was declared a Blockbuster, establishing the Kartik-Anees Bazmee actor-director combo as a goldmine for the industry. The movie that officially catapulted Kartik into the A-league is Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018). This film marked the peak of his collaboration with mentor and director Luv Ranjan, who had given him his break in Pyaar Ka Punchnama. Co-starring Nushrratt Bharuccha and Sunny Singh, this bromance vs. romance comedy connected instantly with the youth. Made on a modest budget of approx. ₹30 Cr, it surprised everyone by entering the 100-Crore club, minting ₹ 108.95 Cr(India Net) and ₹ 156.46 Cr (Worldwide). It was a massive Blockbuster that proved Kartik could carry a commercial film purely on his comic timing and monologue fame. Ranked fourth is the small-town rom-com Luka Chuppi (2019), which showcased Kartik's ability to shine in family entertainers. Directed by Laxman Utekar, the film paired him with Kriti Sanon and featured stellar support from Pankaj Tripathi. The film dealt with the subject of live-in relationships in a conservative setting. It was a highly profitable venture; made on a budget of just ₹25 Cr, it collected ₹94.75 Cr (India Net) and ₹128 Cr (Worldwide). The verdict was Super Hit, solidifying his appeal in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. Rounding out his top 5 hits is Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019), a film particularly relevant today as it featured his TMMTMTTM co-star, Ananya Panday. Directed by Mudassar Aziz, this modern remake of the classic comedy also starred Bhumi Pednekar. The movie was praised for its humor and the chemistry between the leads. Produced on a budget of approx. ₹40 Cr, it collected ₹ 84.56 Cr (India Net) and ₹ 109 Cr (Worldwide), earning a Hit verdict. The successful pairing of Kartik and Ananya in this film is a major reason why trade analysts are bullish on their reunion in Tu Meri Main Tera.... Kartik Aaryan's box office history shows a clear pattern: he excels in comedies and romantic entertainers that appeal to families and youth alike. With TMMTMTTM bringing him back to the romantic-comedy genre with a tested director (Sameer Vidwans) and a familiar co-star (Ananya Panday), the stage is set for potentially his next big entry into this elite list.

De De Pyaar De 2 Shows Good Hold at Box Office, Grosses Over ₹68 Crore Worldwide in 5 Days

The romantic comedy De De Pyaar De 2, starring Ajay Devgn, R. Madhavan, and Rakul Preet Singh, has shown a Noteworthy performance at the box office, collecting ₹44.25 crore net in India within its first five days of release. The film, which is a sequel to the 2019 hit "De De Pyaar De," had a decent opening weekend but saw a significant drop on its first Monday. The film kicked off its theatrical run with an opening day collection of ₹8.75 crore. It witnessed a significant jump over the weekend, earning ₹12.25 crore on Saturday and ₹13.75 crore on Sunday. However, collections saw a dip on Monday, bringing in ₹4.25 crore. The film then saw a slight increase on Tuesday, collecting ₹5.25 crore. Early estimates for Wednesday suggest a collection of around ₹1.59 crore. De De Pyaar De 2 is a romantic comedy directed by Anshul Sharma and written by Luv Ranjan and Tarun Jain. It is produced by T-Series Films and Luv Films. The film continues the story of Ashish Mehra (Ajay Devgn) and his younger girlfriend Ayesha Khurana (Rakul Preet Singh). In this installment, Ashish decides to meet Ayesha's family to get their approval, leading to a comedic conflict with her father, played by R. Madhavan. The original 2019 film, De De Pyaar De, was directed by Akiv Ali and also starred Tabu alongside Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh. It was a commercial success, grossing over ₹143 crore worldwide. The sequel has received mixed to positive reviews from critics. Reviewers have praised the performances of the lead cast, particularly the face-off between Ajay Devgn and R. Madhavan. The film has been described as a breezy and enjoyable take on modern relationships, with a good dose of humor. Some critics, however, found the story to be stretched at times. The direction by Anshul Sharma and the writing by Luv Ranjan have been noted for attempting to explore themes of ageism, patriarchy, and family dynamics within a comedic framework. Take a look at De De Pyaar De 2 Day-Wise Box Office Collection Day 1 [1st Friday]: ₹ 8.75 Cr Day 2 [1st Saturday]: ₹ 12.25 Cr Day 3 [1st Sunday]: ₹ 13.75 Cr Day 4 [1st Monday]: ₹ 4.25 Cr Day 5 [1st Tuesday]: ₹ 5.25 Cr Day 6 [1st Wednesday]: ₹ 1.59 Cr (Early Estimates) Total (5 Days): ₹ 44.25 Cr While De De Pyaar De 2 has put up a respectable total so far, its opening day collection of ₹8.75 crore is slightly lower than its predecessor, De De Pyaar De, which opened at ₹10.41 crore in 2019. Despite the strong weekend growth, the film's ability to sustain its momentum during the weekdays will be crucial in determining its overall box office success. The performance in its second week will be the real test for the film and will indicate its potential for a long and successful theatrical run.

Ajay Devgn-Rakul Preet Singh's De De Pyaar De 2 Creates Buzz, Leads IMDb's Most Anticipated Movies of 2025 List

Mumbai, October 24 - After the trailer launch recently, the buzz for Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh's romantic comedy De De Pyaar De 2 is skyrocketing. Ahead of the film's release, the rom-com has claimed the No. 1 spot on IMDb's list of Most Anticipated New Indian Movies and Shows. According to IMDb's real-time popularity rankings, De De Pyaar De 2 currently leads with 19.5% of the total share, leaving behind other eagerly awaited films like Haq, Dhurandhara, and Baahubali - The Epic. It is very common for films to top IMDb's anticipation list close to the release date, but the fact that DDPD2 still has 3 weeks left, the latest development is a big positive. The sequel to the 2019 hit De De Pyaar De, the film reunites Ajay Devgn with his signature blend of humour, charm, and emotional depth. The original, which starred Tabu and Rakul Preet Singh alongside Devgn, became a crowd favourite for its refreshing take on modern relationships. The buzz around the sequel has been steadily growing ever since its announcement, and the IMDb ranking now proves that anticipation is sky-high. In recent times, franchise films have failed to generate buzz, but the tide seems to be changing for DDPD2, which is genuinely making noise among the fans and trade, especially after the trailer launch that received a unanimous positive reception and huge viewership. With the film leading the hype charts, De De Pyaar De 2 looks poised to deliver another crowd-pleasing entertainer. Directed by Anshul Sharma and also starring R. Madhavan, Ishita Dutta, Meezaan Jafri, and Gautami Kapoor, fans are already waiting to see what fresh twists this romantic comedy will bring to the table — and if the IMDb anticipation is any sign, Ajay Devgn's next outing is set to open with a bang.
