Amidst a growing roar of disapproval after Dhurandhar, Akshaye Khanna’s close friends stand by him. Writer Rumy Jafry, who has been Akshaye’s friend even in the actor’s darkest days, said that he has not changed at all after the success ofDhurandhar.

"Akshaye Khanna is too much of a professional to back out of an assignment unless he has a valid reason," says Rumy Jafry

“When he had no producers queuing up to sign him, he was still very choosy. Now when he is spoilt for choices he is still not signing films in a rush. I don’t know what happened between Akshaye and this producer (Kumar Mangat Pathak). But Akshaye Khanna is too much of a professional to back out of an assignment unless he has a valid reason to do so,” said Rumy Jafry.

And who are these disgruntled elements?

“I don’t know. But I do know that when I signed him forGali Gali Chor Hai, Akshaye kept urging me to sign someone more saleable. Does that sound like someone greedy?”
