Career

At the age of 22 in 1997, Khanna made his debut in his father's production Himalaya Putra. His next release was J. P. Dutta's Border (1997) for which he received a Filmfare Best Debut Award. His later films included Taal (1999), Dil Chahta Hai (2001) and Humraaz (2002). He then attempted comedy in Priyadarshan's Hungama (2003) and Hulchul (2004), the latter became one of the highest grossing films of 2004.[1][2]

Shaadi Se Pehle (2006) and Aap Ki Khatir (2006) failed to do well at the box office, his other release that year, 36 China Town performed well.[3] Nikhil Advani's multi-starrer, Salaam-e-Ishq: A Tribute To Love was Khanna's first release in 2007. Although much hyped, the film failed to do well.[4] This was followed by the suspense thriller Naqaab which didn't do that well, although critics praised his acting saying "The movie belongs to Akshaye".[5] Khanna's portrayal of Harilal Gandhi in the Gandhi, My Father was praised by critics and was mentioned as his best performance so far. [6].

Khanna's first release of the year 2008 was Race in which he again played a negative role. He is currently working in Anil Kapoor's Shortcut - The Con is On, and will be seen in Life Partner, Autograph Remake and Ab Dilli Door Nahin
