'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' is streaming now. However, there are a lot of questions fans have in their mind, one of them being about 'Rehman Dakait's' return in the film.
After taking out 'Rehman Dakait', an Indian spy, 'Hamza Ali Mazari' is all set to pursue 'Major Iqbal' to dismantle Pakistan's crime system. However, as his mission unfolds, there is a lot more at stake than the audience was led to believe. Dhurandhar: The Revenge had the audience hooked from the moment its trailer was released, and now fans cannot wait to find out about some of the biggest mysteries that left them restless. One such curiosity had been about 'Rehman's' return to the film. So, as the film rolls in the theaters let's take a quick look at whether we'll get to see Akshaye Khanna back in the role.
The excitement around Dhurandhar: The Revenge has reached a new level as the film has already broken records by becoming the only film in recent times to get a 24-hour screenplay. After the buzz created by Dhurandhar, fans have been rushing to the halls since the early hours of March 19, 2026, to grab tickets for the first show. The journey began with Dhurandhar, released in December 2025, which turned out to be a massive success. Directed by Aditya Dhar and headlined by Ranveer Singh, the film connected strongly with audiences thanks to its gripping storyline and powerful action sequences.
However, while the film won over the audience, it also dominated the box office, crossing the Rs. 1000 crore mark globally. Following such a huge response, the sequel has naturally become one of the biggest Bollywood releases to watch out for in 2026. The makers have released the film in multiple languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Telugu. Dhurandhar: The Revenge marks Aditya Dhar's return as director. Nonetheless, the bar has significantly risen, and he is expected to deliver a strong mix of storytelling, scale, and action. The rising buzz clearly shows that the film has already built strong anticipation, making it one of the most talked-about releases even before audiences step into theatres.
Akshaye Khanna became the star performer of Dhurandhar with his portrayal of 'Rehman Dakait', winning over the audience. While fans were left mesmerised by Ranveer Singh's performance, it was Akshaye Khanna who grabbed everyone's attention. The seasoned actor earned appreciation from critics and the audience alike for his strong portrayal of 'Rehman Dakait'. The audience loved his performance so much that, ever since part two was announced, fans have been wondering whether Akshaye will return in the sequel.
For the unversed, while the character was killed by 'Hamza' in the climax of the first part, a section of moviegoers has been hoping for his return in Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Well, we finally have some good news for the audience: Akshaye Khanna is a part of the sequel. However, in an unexpected way.
Fans had been speculating that Akshaye Khanna might appear in flashbacks during Dhurandhar: The Revenge. However, it has now been revealed that 'Rehman Dakait' is part of Dhurandhar: The Revenge, but not as we expected. He appears at the beginning of Dhurandhar 2. Akhaye Khanna appears only in the funeral scene for 'Rehman Dakait', where his family is burying him.
While there were rumours that 'Rehman Dakait' might appear in a few flashback scenes, nothing like that happens in Dhurandhar The Revenge. The release of Dhurandhar: The Revenge has confirmed that Akshaye Khanna, or 'Rehman Dakait', isn't really part of the sequel, other than that funeral scene.
