For the unversed, Dhurandhar is coming up with a second part, which will be released on March 19, 2026. Ahead of the huge anticipation around what will unfold in the sequel, Rakesh Bedi, in an interview with Hindustan Times, revealed details about his character and what happens to him in the film’s sequel.
Rakesh Bedi said, “Aditya called me last year to offer me the role of Jameel, who has so much more to him. He’s going to be worse in the sequel, and it 100% gave me the chance to do something different. I’m in seventh heaven.”
“Somebody, at last, was trying to extract something else out of me. Aditya knew that in 50 years, there hadn’t been a month when I hadn’t performed on stage. He knew I had seen all colours of people in life to play this role that looks straight but isn’t. Jameel is cunning, scheming, sly… There are so many layers to him,” the actor said.

Opening up about his character, Rakesh Bedi said, “Despite fierce opposition from Rahman Dakait (Akshaye) and other political bigwigs, you’ve seen how Jameel has been able to place Hamza at the helm of affairs. Although now that he realises Hamza is working according to his fancy, he might pull his strings… he might pull the carpet also (laughs). I won’t tell you more than that.”
