The two actors, who are now starring together in Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar, were part of Rajeev Masand's Actors Roundtable discussion. During the conversation, Ranveer was visibly starstruck by Akshaye, who is known for his iconic role in Dil Chahta Hai (2001). As the discussion unfolded, Rajeev highlighted Akshaye's extensive experience in the industry, having entered during a pivotal moment in Hindi cinema's evolution. Ranveer's admiration for Akshaye was evident when he broke into an impromptu rendition of Kaisi Hai Yeh Rut, one of Dil Chahta Hai's most iconic songs. Akshaye shared that he initially wanted to play the role of Aamir, but Farhan Akhtar had written the character specifically for him.

Years later, Ranveer and Akshaye have finally come together on-screen in Dhurandhar, where Akshaye plays Rehman Dakait.
