# Madhur Bhandarkar Stunned by Rakesh Bedi's Menacing Turn in *Dhurandhar*: "I Would Have Thought Three or Four Times About Casting Him!" Imagine a veteran comedian transforming into a chilling politician that leaves even acclaimed directors speechless— that's the magic Rakesh Bedi brought to *Dhurandhar*, earning a standing ovation from Madhur Bhandarkar himself.[1] Filmmaker **Madhur Bhandarkar**, known for his gritty realism, recently watched Ranveer Singh's explosive spy thriller *Dhurandhar* and couldn't hold back his praise. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film follows Intelligence Bureau Chief Ajay Sanyal (R. Madhavan) on a high-stakes mission to dismantle a terror network in Pakistan, with Ranveer Singh delivering a feral, electrifying performance as Hamza, a Punjabi youth recruited from prison to infiltrate Karachi's underworld.[1] Bhandarkar called it an "explosive, thrilling ride" that kept him on the edge of his seat, highlighting the cast's authenticity: "All the actors looked like the characters they portrayed."[1] But it was Rakesh Bedi who truly shocked him. "Rakesh Bedi was a revelation for me; I never imagined him as a menacing politician," Bhandarkar raved, adding, "I would have thought three or four times about casting him. Hats off!"[1] He reserved his highest praise for Akshaye Khanna's "masterclass acting" as the formidable crime lord, while also lauding Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun.[1] The film's success is undeniable—it's crossed ₹1000 crore globally, with Tamil stars Suriya and Jyothika calling it a "masterpiece" and commending Madhavan's transformation.[3]
