Akshaye Khanna Villain in Tumbbad 2 After Dhurandhar? Fans Split on Kangana Casting

Akshaye Khanna is set to play the villain in Tumbbad 2, the much-awaited sequel to the 2018 horror hit. This comes right after his intense role in Dhurandhar. The film stars Kangana Ranaut and Sohum Shah, who returns as Vinayak Rao. Directed by Rahi Anil Barve, Tumbbad 2 dives deeper into the cursed treasure and family greed from the original.

News of Khanna’s casting has Bollywood buzzing. Fans love his brooding style, perfect for a menacing baddie. “Akshaye as villain? Genius move!” one Twitter user cheered. But not everyone agrees. Some netizens worry about Kangana Ranaut’s role. Her bold opinions often spark debates, and pairing her with the dark Tumbbad vibe feels off to critics. “Kangana in horror? Mismatch,” a Reddit thread complained. Others defend her, saying she brings fire to any script.

Social media is divided. Pro-Kangana fans highlight her versatility in films like Queen and Tanu Weds Manu. Anti-fans point to past flops. Sohum Shah’s comeback as the haunted lead excites everyone, though. Will Khanna steal the show? Tumbbad 2 promises scary thrills with top talent. Shooting starts soon—stay tuned for updates!
