"Everything was decided and he (Akshay Khanna) also liked the script of the film. The look and costume of the role were all finalized. But a day before the release of Dhurandhar he refused for Drishyam 3. We also talked to Ajay Devgan regarding this matter, he said that you see what to do next and anyway this is a matter between me and the producers.
On the basis of sequel, the story ended here and the story of the third part will move forward from there. Accordingly, changes cannot be made with the look of the characters. In such a situation, the demand for Akshay's hair wig remained in vain. I challenge him to do a solo film in future.
Apart from this, Drishyam 3 director Abhishek Pathak clearly denied that Akshaye Khanna had demanded a fee of Rs 21 crore for the film.
