When Ranveer Singh turned fanboy for his Dhurandhar co-star Akshaye Khanna, old video resurfaces

The old video of Ranveer Singh having a massive fanboy moment for Akshaye Khanna has resurfaced following their highly praised co-starring roles in the 2025 spy-action thriller, Dhurandhar.

The resurfaced clip reportedly originates from a 2019 roundtable interview where the actors were present, and Ranveer, known for his energetic admiration of his colleagues, was visibly in awe of Akshaye Khanna.

During the conversation, the host pointed out that Akshaye Khanna was the most experienced actor at the table and that his film, Dil Chahta Hai, marked a significant and exciting shift in Hindi cinema. Ranveer Singh’s spontaneous reaction to this was a clear demonstration of his fanboy status, as he immediately burst into an impromptu rendition of the song ‘Kaisi Hai Yeh Rut’ from the iconic movie.

After his brief performance, the Padmaavat star enthusiastically affirmed the host’s point, stating that the film “changed the landscape of Hindi films as the syntax.” This moment of unreserved admiration has gained renewed popularity because of their compelling dynamic in Dhurandhar,

where Ranveer plays the lead spy, Hamza, and Akshaye Khanna delivers a highly acclaimed, scene-stealing performance as the chief antagonist, Rehman Dakait, a Pakistani crime lord and politician

. The resurfacing of the fanboy video highlights the journey of Ranveer Singh, showcasing his respect for the veteran actor, now amplified by their successful collaboration.

The public has been especially taken by Akshaye Khanna’s commanding screen presence in the new film, particularly his viral entry scene on the track ‘FLIPPERACHI’, with many noting his “aura” and even suggesting he “overshadowed” the rest of the cast—a sentiment that only adds weight to Ranveer’s earlier, genuine appreciation for his co-star.
