Akshaye Khanna Set to Join Tumbbad 2?

After the release of Dhurandhar, Akshaye Khanna became one of the most talked-about actors, with fans praising his intense and chilling performance. His resurgence has sparked curiosity about his upcoming projects. The actor is set to appear in flashback scenes as Rehman Dakait in Dhurandhar: The Revenge and will also be seen as Asuraguru Shukracharya in Mahakali, along with Ikka in his pipeline.

Now, the latest buzz suggests that Akshaye Khanna may join Tumbbad 2, which reportedly stars Kangana Ranaut and Sohum Shah. According to reports, Akshaye and Nawazuddin Siddiqui are top contenders for the antagonist’s role.

While many fans are excited and confident that Akshaye would “nail it,” others are skeptical, citing budget concerns and casting feasibility. Whether the talks materialize or not, Akshaye Khanna’s name alone has added massive buzz to Tumbbad 2.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui Stands by Rajpal Yadav Amid Jail Case

Actor Rajpal Yadav surrendered at Tihar Jail on February 5 after the Delhi High Court rejected his final plea for more time in a cheque bounce and loan default case. Following this, many Bollywood celebrities including Sonu Sood came forward to support him. During this time, Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s name started trending online, with people wrongly accusing him of not helping his close friend.

However, recent reports have cleared the air. According to sources, Nawazuddin Siddiqui has always supported Rajpal Yadav, even providing financial help of around Rs 10 lakh earlier. Nawazuddin prefers to keep his help private and away from media attention, which is why his support was not publicly visible.

An old interview clip of Nawazuddin praising Rajpal’s generosity also resurfaced, reminding people of their strong bond. Meanwhile, the film industry continues to show solidarity with Rajpal during his tough time.
