Akshaye Khanna has joined Prashant Varma’s upcoming movie ‘Mahalaki’, also marking his Telugu debut. The actor looks completely unrecognisable in his first look from ‘Mahakali’ and will essay the role of Shukracharya. This is also Akshaye’s first project after the grand success of his Hindi film ‘Chhaava’.
Akshaye Khanna will play the role of Shukracharya and has a striking, saintly persona of a revered Guru in his first look. He dons a flowing silver beard, ascetic robes, and luminous eyes in the poster. His character is known as the master of Sanatana Vidya and keeper of the secretive Mrita-Sanjivani Mantra.
Announcing his involvement in ‘Mahakali’, the makers wrote, “In the shadows of gods, rose the brightest flame of rebellion. Presenting The Enigmatic #AkshayeKhanna as the eternal ‘Asuraguru SHUKRACHARYA’ from #Mahakali.”
