Dhurandhar isn’t just ruling the box office — it’s taking over social media timelines too. And the latest celebrity to jump on the FA9LA wave is Shilpa Shetty.
Shilpa recreates Akshaye Khanna’s viral step
Shilpa Shetty shared a fun Instagram reel recreating Akshaye Khanna’s now-viral FA9LA dance move, a moment that’s become one of the most replayed clips from Dhurandhar. The video ends with a cheeky twist — Shilpa jokes that her team forgot to switch on the fan, making her effort “wasted.”
Her caption summed it up perfectly: “Fan toh mila nahi lekin mai fan ho gayi hu, toh yeh trend karna banta tha.” The post quickly caught attention, adding star power to a trend that’s already everywhere.
“Aura maxxx”: Shilpa reviews Dhurandhar
Alongside the reel, Shilpa posted a detailed, no-holds-barred appreciation note for the film and its cast.
She praised Ranveer Singh for his restrained performance, calling it perfectly aligned with the character. But it was Akshaye Khanna who got the loudest shoutout — “OMG… aura maxxx,” she wrote, echoing what many viewers have been saying since the film’s release.
She also applauded:
- R. Madhavan, calling the performance irreplaceable
- Arjun Rampal, describing him as a revelation
- Sanjay Dutt, tagging him a rockstar, as always
Shilpa didn’t stop there — she also mentioned Gaurav Gera, Manav Gohil and Rakesh Bedi, while crediting Mukesh Chhabra for putting together such a powerful ensemble.
Music and direction get special praise
The FA9LA phenomenon wouldn’t exist without the film’s music — and Shilpa made sure to acknowledge that. She called the background score and tracks by Shashwat Sachdev her current favourite playlist.
Wrapping up her note, she praised director Aditya Dhar, calling him a visionary and describing Dhurandhar as one of the most patriotic films she’s seen in a long time.
Arjun Rampal fuels the FA9LA frenzy
The FA9LA buzz isn’t limited to reels. A video of Arjun Rampal playing a remixed version of the track during his DJ gig at a Gurugram nightclub has also gone viral. As the beat dropped, the crowd erupted — with fans online drawing playful comparisons to Bobby Deol’s meme-era DJ moments.
What’s next for Dhurandhar
Starring Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, and Sara Arjun, Dhurandhar continues to dominate conversations both on and off screen. The sequel, Dhurandhar 2, is already locked for a March 19, 2026 release.
Final Words
When stars start vibing to your film’s music and calling performances “aura maxxx,” you know you’ve struck a chord. With FA9LA turning into a cultural moment and celebrities lining up to join the trend, Dhurandhar is proving it’s more than a blockbuster — it’s a full-blown pop phenomenon.
