It feels surprising when an old actor returns after a long gap. This is exactly what’s happening to actors who are part of Aditya Dhar’s soaring blockbuster Dhurandhar franchise.

Besides the main cast of Ranveer Singh’s film, which is heading to the box office with outstanding performance, there is something more exciting happening in the background.

Most of the actors who were sidelined are now receiving the attention they deserve through this spy action film.

Today, we have compiled the list of those actors. Let’s begin with:

Rakesh Bedi Dhurandhar

Comedian-actor Rakesh Bedi, who is part of the Dhurandhar Revenge cast, has risen to fame.

​His dialogue ‘Mera bacha hai tu’ is trending and is now referred to as situational comedy, relatable life advice, and reels.

Moreover, his dialogue is now being used by brands as awareness slogans.

​Rakesh Bedi has appeared in many old films and has made viewers laugh with his exceptional humour.

​He rose to fame from TV shows like Shrimaan Shrimati and later Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hai.  People could not control their laughter as he portrayed comedic yet simple characters.

​Now in Dhurandhar, he has made a strong return, playing a corrupt politician, Jameel Jamaali.

​His current role in the Dhurandhar franchise is different to roles we have seen him in before. Now, besides making people laugh, he is making them feel uneasy.

​Such was the impact of his performance that even Ranveer Singh, who stars as the lead, has applauded his acting.

​Jameel Jamaali is considered one of Bedi’s standout performances.

Arjun Rampal Dhurandhar

Next is Arjun Rampal, known for starting his career in modelling. ​He began with romantic roles in films such as Pyaar, Ishq, aur Mohabbat, Dil Hai Tumhara, Deewana Pan, and Dil Ka Rishta.

​Arjun also excelled in action and other genre films like D-Day, Daddy, Fox, Ankhein, Paltan, Rock On, Inkaar, Yakeen, and Nail Polish.

​Before playing the menacing, daunting villain Major Iqbal in the Dhurandhar franchise, he had excelled at playing negative shades in films like Ra. One, Om Shanti Om and Ek Ajnabee.

His negative role in Dhurandhar: The Revenge stands out for its quiet intensity and lasting impact across both films.

Gaurav Gera Dhurandhar

After Rakesh Bedi, another actor who has entertained us, made us laugh, is none other than Gaurav Gera, who plays Mohammad Aalam, an undercover agent in the Dhurandhar franchise. He is shown running operations from a small shop.

Well, this time, his makeover hardly made viewers recognise him as the same Gaurav Gera who made us laugh as Chutki.

It was hard to believe that he would excel in such an intense role. The sequence in which his character makes a sacrifice deeply affected the audience.

However, in that small role, he has proven his versatility and made a big impact. To remind you, Gaurav had earlier played as Nandu in Mona Singh-starrer ‘Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahi’.

Other Actors Who Grabbed Attention With Their Comeback in Dhurandhar

Saumya Tandon

Among the actors who made an appealing comeback is Saumya Tandon. The actress is well-known for her comedy show Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hai on &TV and Zee5.

​It left fans hurt when she opted out of this show and was replaced by Neha Pendse. However, she once again made a comeback with her short yet impactful role in Dhurandhar.

Saumya played Ulfat, the wife  of Akshaye Khanna’s character Rehman Dakait.

​In one of the scenes, she had to slap Akshaye Khanna after knowing of her son’s death.

​Well, according to some accounts, it wasn't easy for her, as she was hesitant in doing it, but Akshaye made her feel relaxed and told her to ‘Go ahead’.

Manav Gohil

Manav Gohil also made a surprising comeback with Dhurandhar. The actor is well-known for playing positive roles in television shows such as Kahani Ghar Ghar Kii and CID.

Now, unlike his usual soft roles, he plays a serious character, a strict Intelligence Bureau officer. There are scenes of him with R. Madhavan, who plays Ajay Sanyal, regarding terrorist activities.

Suvinder Vicky

Last on this list is Suvinder Vicky, who is popular with shows like Kohraa and Pataal Lok. In Dhurandhar, he plays Brigadier Jahangir, father of Major Iqbal, played by Arjun Rampal.

​His role may not have been of that extended level, but he still made a powerful and unforgettable impact through his performance.

Bottom line

In the end, what makes the appearance of these actors worthy in the Dhurandhar franchise is the variety in their character roles.

​Thanks to Aditya Dhar, who recognised their acting skills and let them shine in these challenging roles they had never performed before.

​It comes as a surprise for viewers who saw them in new roles. Besides being a spy thriller, Dhurandhar has given these actors a second chance ot prove their talent and get the recognition they deserve.
