After garnering praise for his stellar act as Rehman Dakait in Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar, Akshaye Khanna is gearing up for his next project in Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU). On the actor's birthday, the HanuMan director shared a behind-the-scenes picture from Mahakali and wished him 'Happy Birthday.'
Prasanth Varma's birthday wish for Akshaye
Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) handle, Varma shared the pic and praised Akshaye for his performance and "effortless screen presence."
"Happy Birthday #AkshayeKhanna sir, a true actor who proves that real talent doesn't need noise. Effortless screen presence, powerful performances, and unmatched class always stand out. It's an absolute honour working with you. Can’t wait to show the world what we’ve created together! Updates coming soon! #Mahakali #Adhira #JaiHanuman (sic)," read the caption.
In the candid pic, Khanna was seen having a conversation with Varma and others, as he was in the getup of his character, sporting silver hair and beard, and wearing a white dhoti.
Akshaye transitions into a different character in Mahakali. For the unversed, Shukracharya was the guru of the Asuras in Hindu mythology. He is known as the master of Sanatana Vidya and the secretkeeper of Mrita-Sanjivani Mantra.
Earlier, Hindustan Times quoted sources saying, “All we can reveal is that his role will add intrigue and depth to the growing PVCU universe. His role will span across multiple films in the franchise and will prove to be an exciting addition. We’re hoping Mahakali is received as well as HanuMan was.”
