Actor Rakesh Bedi has been receiving praise for his role in Dhurandhar The Revenge, a spy thriller starring Ranveer Singh. Rakesh played the character of Jameel Jamali, a scheming and manipulative politician. His performance impressed viewers, who showered him with love for his comic timing and dialogue delivery.
Rakesh revealed in a recent conversation that many people called him to praise his work, but one call that meant a lot to him was from Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin complimented Rakesh on his performance, saying, 'Rakesh ji, maza aa gaya! Kya chhakka maara apne!' Rakesh replied, 'Haa tumne bahut chakke maare hain, but tumhare chhakke India mein girey hain. Mera chhakka Pakistan mein gira hai.'
Rakesh's response referenced his character in the film, who is a politician hiding a huge secret in Pakistan. The film, Dhurandhar 2, has crossed ₹1000 crore net domestically and ₹1,500 crore gross worldwide.
