These days Rakesh Bedi is in the news for his film ‘Dhurandhar’, where his character Jamim Jamali has impressed the audience a lot. Especially after the climax twist of the film, people have even started calling him the real “Dhurandhar”. But in the meantime, he has shared such an interesting story related to his career, which surprised everyone. Recently, during a conversation in Farah Khan’s vlog, Rakesh Bedi told that when Aditya Dhar was starting his career as a director in the industry, he had approached her with one of his films. At that time Rakesh Bedi heard the script, but he felt that his role was very small and he would have to go to Serbia for the shoot, whereas he had only one scene. For this reason he flatly refused to do that film. However, the real twist in the story came when his family questioned this decision. His daughter explained to him that every big director is new at some point and Aditya Dhar is a promising talent, so it would not be right to waste this opportunity. His wife also advised him that if he did not work with new people, it would be difficult to move forward. These things from the family forced Rakesh Bedi to think and he finally changed his decision and said yes to the film. Interestingly, the same film later became Uri: The Surgical Strike, which was released in 2019 and proved to be a huge blockbuster at the box office. The film’s patriotic story, powerful dialogues and brilliant directing made it reach the hearts of people. Vicky Kaushal’s performance was also highly appreciated and the film even won the National Award. This story of Rakesh Bedi is not just about a film but is an example of those career decisions, where sometimes we leave an opportunity considering it small, but the same opportunity can prove to be the biggest in the future. Today, when his performance in ‘Dhurandhar’ is getting so much love, this story becomes even more special. It teaches us that success in the industry is not achieved only by big roles, but by recognizing the right opportunity and taking the right decision at the right time.
