Ranveer Singh’s admiration for veteran actor Rakesh Bedi has become one of the most talked-about moments around Dhurandhar: The Revenge. According to recent reports, Bedi revealed that on the last day of shooting, Ranveer told him that if Dhurandhar 2 earned ₹1000 crore, then ₹500 crore of that success would be because of Rakesh ji. The remark has now gone viral as the film opens to strong buzz and celebrity praise.
The quote that grabbed attention
The much-discussed “₹500 crore credit” line was recalled by Rakesh Bedi as an affectionate and confident compliment Ranveer made during filming. Bedi plays Jameel Jamali in the film, and the statement reflects how highly Ranveer valued his co-star’s performance.
Dhurandhar 2’s big start
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar: The Revenge officially released on March 19, 2026, after paid preview shows on March 18. Early box-office reports said the film collected around ₹44 crore net in India from preview shows, giving it a powerful opening and adding to the excitement around its theatrical run.
Celebrities heap praise on the film
The film has also won appreciation from several celebrities. Allu Arjun called it a “blast” and praised Ranveer Singh, Aditya Dhar and R. Madhavan, while Preity Zinta described the film as “mindblowing” after attending a preview. Their reactions have added to the growing conversation around the sequel and boosted excitement among fans.
Why the moment stands out
Ranveer Singh’s generous praise for Rakesh Bedi has struck a chord because it shines a light on a senior performer in a big commercial film. At a time when most box-office conversations focus only on the lead star, Ranveer’s remark has turned attention toward the supporting cast and the collaborative effort behind a major release. That warmth, combined with the film’s strong opening and celebrity endorsements, has made the moment especially memorable.
