The rumours began circulating online after the film’s extraordinary box office run, which has already crossed over Rs 1,100 crore in India. Many fans credited Rakesh Bedi’s character, the sly politician Jameel Jamali, as one of the film’s most memorable twists. Soon after, reports suggested that the production team had rewarded him with a hefty bonus.
However, the Veteran actor has now clarified that no such payment has reached him.
Rakesh Bedi responds with his classic humour
In a video message shared with News9Live, the actor jokingly asked where the supposed money had gone.
“Aajkal ek video bada viral ho raha hai. Kayi log mujhe ye bhej rahe hain ki mujhe production house se Dhurandhar ke baad Rs 1 crore mile hai. Toh bhaiya woh kahan pada hai, kiske ghar mein rakha hai, kiski jeb mein hai, mujhe bata do yaar kahan kisi ne gaad ke rakha hai. Bata do taaki main jaake le loon kyunki mere account mein toh abhi tak nahin aaya hai,” he said.
He continued with another playful remark, saying, “Mere account mein toh show nahin kar raha hai. Aur agar aa gaya toh main doonga ya shayad na bhi bataaoon ke mujhe mil gaya hai. Lekin filhaal toh nahin mila hai. Agar aap dilwa sakte ho toh please dilwa do.”
