Veteran actor Rakesh Bedi has revealed that Ranveer Singh once said he would miss him after the shoot of ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ wrapped, highlighting the warm camaraderie shared on set.

Speaking on India Podcasts, Bedi recounted his experience working with Ranveer and the bond they developed during filming.

Bohot achchi tuning rahi, aur jab mera last day tha... tab Ranveer ne mike apne haath mein li aur bola ki agar ye film ₹1,000 crore ka dhanda karegi toh usme ₹500 crore Rakesh ji ke vajah se honge (There was such good tuning on set. When it was my last day, Ranveer took the mic and said that if the film makes ₹1,000 crore at the box office, then ₹500 crore will be because of Rakesh ji)!

Reflecting further on the atmosphere during the shoot, he said, "Ek character actor ke liye issey badi respect aur kya ho sakti hai? Ek director jo bol raha hai, aur usne mere kandhe pe haath rakh ke bola, film ke dauran, 'Rakesh ji jab aapka last day aayega na shooting ka, toh main ro parunga! Sir, I will miss you! So iss tarah ka atmosphere create hua tha poore film mein. Toh kaam achcha hi hoga na (What more respect can a character actor ask for? The director told me that when it will be my last day on set, he will start crying. So that was the atmosphere on set, and that reflects in the good work)'"
