Who has allegedly inspired ‘Jameel Jamali’s character in Dhurandhar?

For those who have already watched Dhurandhar: The Revenge, know ‘Jameel Jamali’s role’s importance in the movie, which gets revealed by a big surprise at the end, as he said, ‘Arey bachcha hai tu mera’, and the theatres burst out in shock and claps. ‘Jameel Jamali’s role has been said to be inspired by Nabil Gabol, even though there was no such official confirmation about the same. Recently, Nabil Gabol reportedly reacted to the unverified links between him and ‘Jameel Jamali’s role in the movie, played by Rakesh Bedi.

Not Nabil Gabol, Rakesh Bedi’s ‘Jameel Jamali’ gets linked to a controversial Pakistani politician

Reportedly, his sense of worry came from the fact that he feels that illiterate or misinformed viewers in Pakistan, who might watch the movie through VPNs, could react in an otherwise manner, putting him at risk. He also called this a crooked attempt by Indian filmmakers who want to tarnish his image. Amid this, some other reports and information brought another controversial politician’s name to be linked with ‘Jameel’ of Dhurandhar. The controversial politician from Pakistan who is now grabbing the headlines is none other than Altaf Hussain.

Which similarities between reel-life ‘Jameel Jamali’ and real-life Altaf Hussain are leading people to link them?

Since the movie has been released, people have been continuously trying to find the real-life inspiration behind ‘Jameel Jamali’s character. That attempt led them to link Rakesh Bedi’s character to Altaf Hussain, the founder of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM). Altaf has reportedly been one of the controversial Pakistani politicians, and allegations have been made about his involvement in RA&W, his exile to the UK, as claimed by recent reports.

Aditya Dhar and his team haven’t commented or officially confirmed any such assumption, and earlier, the director clarified that the movie was not a biopic or based on real events, but was influenced by the same. Not only his controversial political career, reports claimed that he also married late, at around 48 years old, and had a daughter with his wife. This information, having a similarity with the on-screen ‘Jameel’, also made people wonder if the buzz is true, actually.

Altaf reportedly had a daughter, and no information about her had been made public, as per the reports. As per people’s assumption, Altaf’s alleged foreign connections, debatable career and his exile to the UK could possibly have influenced ‘Jameel’s role in Dhurandhar: The Revenge, while not confirmed. There has been a lot of information about each character’s potential real-life inspiration; however, these are all at the speculation and assumption stage, not being officially confirmed.

What do you think about assumptions around ‘Jameel Jamali’s real-life inspiration?
