Akshaye Khanna makes a rare appearance amid Drishyam 3 trailer buzz

While everyone is stunned by Akshaye Khanna making a rare appearance, the coincidence is that he was papped on the same day as the trailer of Drishyam: The Conclusion was dropped. For the unversed, Akshaye, who was seen in Drishyam 2 alongside Tabu and Ajay Devgn, was supposed to star in the third instalment of the franchise.
