Akshaye Khanna is clearly having a moment. The actor has once again reminded audiences of his quiet but commanding screen presence thanks to his role as Rahman Daku in Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar. From his viral dance clip to the raw intensity of his character Akshaye has struck a chord with viewers. Interestingly 2025 has turned out to be a defining year for him especially in negative roles that showcase his versatility. Before Dhurandhar Akshaye left audiences stunned with his portrayal of Aurangzeb in Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava. Two back-to-back antagonist roles and both wildly different yet equally impactful. Now fresh reports suggest that the actor is gearing up for another exciting project one that could mark a reunion fans have been waiting for since the late 90s. Are Akshaye Khanna and Sunny Deol coming together again? According to several media reports and a viral Reddit post Akshaye Khanna and Sunny Deol may soon share screen space after nearly 29 years. The two were last seen together in the iconic war drama Border (1997) directed by J.P. Dutta. The film went on to become a massive blockbuster and remains a cult favourite even today. The buzz suggests that the new project might be titled Ikka. While neither the actors nor the makers have officially confirmed the news yet online chatter claims that the film’s shooting is already close to completion. If true this would mark a major reunion and a nostalgic moment for Bollywood fans. What is Ikka all about? Reports indicate that Ikka is expected to be an action crime thriller. Unlike their larger-than-life patriotic outing in Border this film is said to explore a darker grittier space. Interestingly Ikka may skip a theatrical release altogether and head straight to an OTT platform with Netflix reportedly in talks to acquire the rights. Adding more intrigue Diya Mirza and Sanjeeda Shaikh are also rumoured to be part of the cast though official announcements are still awaited. Why is this reunion creating so much buzz? The idea of Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna reuniting after almost three decades has naturally sparked excitement. Both actors are known for their strong screen presence and seeing them together again—this time in a modern action thriller—feels like a perfect blend of nostalgia and freshness. What’s next for Sunny Deol? Meanwhile Sunny Deol is busy with Border 2 where he plays the lead role. The film’s recently released trailer has already created waves. Featuring Varun Dhawan Diljit Dosanjh Mona Singh and Ahan Shetty the sequel is slated for a theatrical release on January 23 2026. While fans wait for official confirmation on Ikka one thing is certain Akshaye Khanna’s career graph is on a strong upward curve and a reunion with Sunny Deol could make it even more special.
