Bollywood actor Akshaye Khanna has started filming for his first Telugu movie, Mahakali, marking a major step into Tollywood cinema. The film is part of a new mythological superhero universe and has drawn attention since Khanna was revealed in character. Director Puja Kolluru shared behind-the-scene photos with Khanna from the set, including a smiling selfie that excited fans online.
Khanna’s Telugu debut comes after his strong performance in the hit action film Dhurandhar, where he played a powerful role that brought him praise and more visibility. (Dhurandhar)’s success has boosted his profile across India, helping him land varied projects and opening new opportunities.
Recently, news broke that Akshaye Khanna has exited the much-anticipated Drishyam 3. Reports say disagreements over remuneration and creative choices led to his departure just before filming was set to begin. The situation created talk in the film community, with both fans and industry voices weighing in.
Despite the controversy, Khanna is focused on Mahakali, a project many see as a big leap into a new language and cinema space.
