Bedi dismissed her suggestions, highlighting the common industry excuses. Their light-hearted banter showcased Bedi's rising popularity following his role as the cunning Pakistani politician Jameel Jamali in the successful film 'Dhurandhar 2'. The film, released on March 19, 2025, features Bedi in a pivotal role that reveals him as an undercover Indian spy manipulating events from behind the scenes. The 'Dhurandhar' franchise, directed by Aditya Dhar, is noted for its gripping narratives inspired by real-life security crises, making it a significant addition to contemporary Hindi cinema.
