The notable success of the films Dhurandhar (2025) and Dhurandhar The Revenge (2026) has significantly benefited everyone involved with the franchise, including veteran actor Rakesh Bedi. His portrayal of Jameel Jamali has reportedly resonated strongly with audiences, elevating his standing in the film industry. Previously admired for his comedic skills and extensive body of work, Bedi has reached new levels of fame through this series.

Producers Reward Bedi for Memorable Performance

According to exclusive information from Bollywood Hungama, the producers were so impressed by Rakesh Bedi’s performance in the films that they awarded him a substantial bonus. Sources state that the character’s memorable dialogues have gained a life of their own online, leading to a series of memes. Furthermore, a clever narrative twist involving his character in the sequel has contributed to his growing popularity. The producers acknowledged his effort by providing him with an additional payment beyond his initial contract.

The financial details reveal that Bedi received Rs. 50 lakhs for his role in both films combined. Following the overwhelming success of Dhurandhar The Revenge, Aditya Dhar, who served as both director and producer, along with his business partner Lokesh Dhar, gifted him a cheque amounting to Rs. 1 crore. This bonus essentially doubled his original fee for his participation in the franchise.

The source elaborated on the commendable nature of this financial gesture, highlighting Aditya Dhar’s unique qualities not only as a filmmaker but also as an individual willing to go the extra mile for his collaborators. It is noted that such generous actions are seldom seen in the industry, making this recognition truly exceptional.

Additionally, Jyoti Deshpande’s Jio Studios played a significant role in the production. The franchise features a prominent cast, including Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal, among others. The first film told the gripping story of a spy embedded within Pakistan’s mafia and political landscape, executing operations that stir up chaos.
