However, while on one hand the film is getting tremendous love from the audience, on the other hand some people are raising questions calling it ‘propaganda’. Meanwhile, actor Rakesh Bedi, who played the character of ‘Jamil Jamali’ in the film, has broken his silence on this controversy.

Taunt on Kangana Ranaut’s emergency

Recently, in an interview with NDTV, Rakesh Bedi clearly said that ‘I do not believe in politics, but in cinema. Everyone has the right to like or dislike a film, but it is not right to link a film with political thinking. The biggest decision is the love of the audience and people are liking ‘Dhurandhar’. Meanwhile, without naming her, he also took a dig at Kangana Ranaut’s film ‘Emergency’ and said that recently some films made on political subjects were released, but they could not stay in the theaters for long. In comparison, the story and screenplay of ‘Dhurandhar’ is quite strong and the film has been made on a large scale, which has been successful in attracting the audience.

The film is getting good response

Let us tell you, actors like Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Rakesh Bedi, and Sara Arjun are seen along with Ranveer Singh in ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ directed by Aditya Dhar.

Its first part, released in December 2025, also got a very good response from the audience. However, despite the controversies, it can be estimated from the support the film is getting that it has a lot of craze among the audience.
