The REAL reason Akshaye Khanna exited Drishyam 3 – Rs. 21 crore fee demand and more

 A few days ago, the team behind Drishyam 3 shared that their upcoming movie will come out on October 2, 2026. The official statement listed the main actors for the film—Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Shriya Saran, and Rajat Kapoor. Akshaye Khanna’s name wasn’t included, which surprised many people. Akshaye has been doing really well after his role in Dhurandhar, so fans were excited to see him in Drishyam 3, especially since he made a strong impression in Drishyam 2 (2022). However, there were rumors that he had left the project because of a disagreement about money. source recently uncovered more details about why he left.


A source from source said, "Akshaye was very scary as the villain in Chhaava, and he really shone in Dhurandhar.

 He has become a big star now. Knowing this, he asked for a huge fee of Rs. 21 crores for Drishyam 3."


The same source added, "The makers of Drishyam 3 were surprised.

 They tried to talk to him and told him that if he asked for so much money, the film might cost too much. But Akshaye thought he was right to ask for it. He knew that his involvement would make the film more exciting."


Another source said, "We also learned that there were some other disagreements between Akshaye and the makers.

 One of them was about him wanting to wear a wig. The makers didn’t like the idea, maybe because he didn’t wear one in the second part."


The first source then said, "Since his demands weren’t met, Akshaye decided to leave Drishyam 3.

 He still wished the makers well. The goodbye was friendly, and the makers hope to work with Akshaye again in the future when they can agree on everything."
