While talking about his character, Akshaye in a statement said, “To be able to wear ‘the uniform’ without taking the oath of the ultimate sacrifice — this is a privilege that only an actor is afforded. My only focus during the making has been not to disrespect that privilege.”
State of Siege: Temple Attack is based on the 2002 attack at Akshardham temple in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. It will also star Gautam Rode, Vivek Dahiya, Manjari Fadnis, Akshay Oberoi, and Samir Soni.
Akshaye Khanna was last seen on the big screen in the 2020 release Sab Kushal Mangal. The film failed to impress the critics and was a disaster at the box office.
