Social media users said they missed Akshaye Khanna in Drishyam: The Conclusion as its trailer was released on Wednesday, the same day the actor made a rare appearance in Mumbai. Khanna, who played a cop in Drishyam 2, had opted out of the third film over creative differences, producer Kumar Mangat Pathak said. Jaideep Ahlawat now plays a fresh character.

Akshaye Khanna Spotted In Mumbai |

Actor Akshaye Khanna is someone who hardly gets clicked by the paparazzi, and he is not even spotted at any events, screenings or Bollywood parties. However, on Wednesday, the actor made a rare appearance in Mumbai. He was spotted by the paps in the city while coming out of a restaurant, and he happily posed for the shutterbugs. The Dhurandhar actor was accompanied by filmmaker and actor Rajat Rawail. We wonder if the two are teaming up for a project.

Akshay Khanna-Drishyam The Conclusion Trailer – What A Coincidence!

While, of course, everyone is surprised to see Akshaye making a rare appearance, the coincidence is that he was spotted on the same day as the trailer of Drishyam: The Conclusion was released. For the uninitiated, Akshaye, who was seen in Drishyam 2, was supposed to star in the third part of the franchise. But, according to producer Kumar Mangat Pathak, the actor opted out of the film due to creative differences.

Later, Jaideep Ahlawat was roped in to play the cop in the film. Jaideep has not replaced Akshaye in the franchise; the makers have introduced a new character. In the trailer of Drishyam: The Conclusion, the Raazi actor has surely grabbed our attention.
