Ever since Dhurandhar released, Akshaye Khanna’s incredible performance took over the internet. The buzz around the actor elevated after the reports of his exit from the highly anticipated film Drishyam 3 made rounds on social media. This shocked everyone as people were excited to see his performance in the upcoming film. Now, the alleged reasons why he made this move have surfaced in the media. Read on to know what the reports claim.

Why Did Akshaye Khanna Exit Drishyam 3?

If multiple media reports are to be believed, Akshaye Khanna opted out of Drishyam 3 because of creative differences. An insider reportedly stated that the Hulchul star demanded to wear a wig for the movie which made the makers uncomfortable with the idea. It was probably because he did not wear a wig in the film’s second part. But this was not the only alleged reason. It is being said that Akshaye Khanna revised his fees and asked for Rs. 21 crores for the said upcoming film. The makers were taken aback and they reasoned with the actor that if they exceeded the payment, the film would go over budget. The source stated that the Mom actor felt that he was justified in his demand. He reportedly knew that his presence elevated the audience’s excitement for the film.
