What Rakesh Bedi told India TV about playing Jameel Jamali
After the release of Dhurandhar in December, Rakesh Bedi exclusively spoke to India TV about playing Jameel Jamali. He had then hinted that his character will feel very different in the sequel. And so it did. Without giving too much away, he had said, “ All I can say is that I'll be more menacing that what the my character was in part 1,” adding that audiences should be prepared for what’s coming.
He also tried to peel back the layers of Jameel. On the surface, the character may seem conniving and even humorous at times, but there’s a sharper edge underneath. Bedi also pointed out that Jameel is far more aggressive than he appears, someone who quietly drives the events unfolding in Lyari. “He pulls the strings and somehow starts it all,” he said.
Rakesh Bedi had one of the most important roles in Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The film, which was released on March 19, stars Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, Danish Pandor, Rakesh Bedi and Sara Arjun in key roles. The film continues to remain in the theatres.
