In 1997, Akshaye made his debut in the film Himalay Putra which got critical acclaim and he received Screen Award for “Best Male Debut” but the film did not do well at the box office.

His big break came with the 1997 Indian war film, Border in which he performed alongside mainstream actors such as Sunny Deol, Suniel Shetty, and Jackie Shroff and played the role of real-life role of Dharamvir Singh Bhan.

His film Border was the 2nd highest-grossing Bollywood film of the year 1997 and Akshaye won the “Best Male Debut” Filmfare award.

After his 1999 film Dahek, Akshaye was not seen in any film for a 2 year period and made his comeback in actor-director Farhan Akhtar‘s coming-of-age comedy-drama Dil Chahta Hai in 2001 alongside Saif Ali Khan and Aamir Khan.

His performance in the Abbas–Mustan-directed action thriller Race (2008) marked a turning point in his career.

In 2012, he took a 4-year break from acting and made his comeback with the action cop comedy Dishoom in 2016.

Akshaye caught himself in the middle of a controversy in 2013 when he reported a case of a couple, tricking him to invest ₹50 lakh for doubling this amount in 45 days through commodity trading.
