Rakesh Bedi is currently on cloud nine, and for all the right reasons. His portrayal of politician Jameel Jamali has received widespread praise from both fans and critics.
In an interview with The Lallantop, Rakesh said he received appreciation from many people for his work in the film. However, he added that the call that mattered the most to him came from Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.
What Rakesh Bedi Said
Recalling Sachin's praise for his role, Rakesh Bedi said, "Boley, ‘Rakesh ji, maza aa gaya! Kya chhakka maara apne!' Maine bola, 'Haa tumne bahut chakke maare hain, but tumhare chhakke India mein girey hain. Mera chhakka Pakistan mein gira hai (He said he enjoyed the film, and said 'what a six you hit!' I replied that you've hit many sixes, but yours landed in India, but mine landed in Pakistan).”
Dhurandhar 2 has drawn attention for Bedi's role as Jameel Jamali, in addition to Aditya Dhar's gritty storytelling and direction and Ranveer Singh's powerful performance. The character has stood out among audiences for adding humour along with emotional depth to the narrative. One of his dialogues, "Baccha Hai Tu Mera," has gone viral on social media.
