The Indian film industry is currently witnessing a phenomenal run at the box office, thanks to Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge. With Ranveer Singh leading the charge, the movie has sparked intense speculation about a potential third part. Now, Rakesh Bedi, who plays the role of Jameel Jamali, has addressed the growing buzz around Dhurandhar 3.

Rakesh Bedi has been receiving praise for his portrayal of Jameel Jamali, a character initially introduced as the father of Sara Arjun’s character. In a major plot twist, Jamali is revealed to be an Indian spy operating deep within Pakistan. Talking about this revelation, Bedi shared in an interview with Zoom, “It was a highlight for the audience, but for us, it was like just another scene. We knew that it would create a ripple.”

As fans flood social media with demands for more, Bedi offered a grounded perspective on whether the story will continue. He said, “I don’t think a third part will happen.” However, he didn’t rule out the future of the brand, adding, “But Dhurandhar is a franchise, and it can be made with some other actors at any given point of time. The story ends with the spy going back to his nation.”

The franchise’s success is nothing short of historic. The first Dhurandhar, released in December 2025, earned approximately Rs 1300 crore globally. Its sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, released in March 2026, shattered even more records. It became the first Hindi film to cross the Rs 1100 crore mark domestically and has collected over Rs 1700 crore worldwide to date.

Bedi attributes this massive success to the momentum built by the first film. He explained, “Since Dhurandhar Part 1 was such a big hit, hence, the audience’s perspective to see Dhurandhar Part 2 completely changed. You are not going to see the film and decide how it was. You are going to see a film with the mindset that it is a great film because its prequel was also great.” 

Even in its fourth week, the sequel remains steady at the box office, holding its own against new releases like Akshay Kumar’s Bhooth Bangla.

Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana is already creating a massive stir across the globe. Long before its official theatrical release, the film has caught the attention of international industry insiders after a special screening at CinemaCon in Las Vegas.

According to a report by the YouTube channel Mr Like It Or Not, approximately 20 minutes of unseen footage from the film was showed to a select group of attendees at the event. The reaction to the footage was reportedly overwhelmingly positive, with viewers praising the film’s grand scale and immersive quality. The creator described the project as a unique blend of traditional storytelling and modern filmmaking, saying, “This film can be both a true grand epic and also a spectacular fantasy story.”

Beyond the visuals, the buzz from CinemaCon suggests that the makers are looking at a major global strategy. There are strong rumours about a potential distribution deal with Warner Bros. Studios. The YouTube creator mentioned, “They just landed a big distribution here in America that will give them a big, global push. Warner Bros. Studios will be distributing this film globally.” However, it is important to note that neither the filmmakers nor Warner Bros. have officially confirmed this partnership yet.

The ambitions for Ramayana don’t stop at global distribution. There are indications that the film will be positioned for a serious Academy Awards campaign. The creator shared, “I am pretty sure they are going to push for some Academy Awards in a bunch of different categories, especially a nomination for the International Feature Film. It’s going to fit that particular style.” 

Mounted on a massive, reported budget of approximately Rs 4,000 crore, the film stars Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi in the lead roles. The cast also includes Yash, Sunny Deol and Ravi Dubey. Planned as a two-part project, Part 1 will hit screens during Diwali 2026, followed by Part 2 in Diwali 2027.
