While accepting the award, he talked about ‘Dhurandhar 2’ and added, “It isn’t a full award - it’s only half, because the film itself is only half complete. The other half is still remaining.”




“Award dena tha toh pura deta” (You should have given a full award), the actor joked on stage as he talked about the film and how half of the story still remains. In one of the quick interviews on the red carpet, the actor also labeled the second film as “lightning fast”, while choosing to remain silent about the plot.

While further talking about his award, he also mentioned how he had been nominated for awards here and there; however, because of ‘Dhurandhar’, the awards will keep coming from now on.

According to Moneycontrol, Bedi added, “Earlier, only the hero and heroine would get all the awards, and side actors were often side-lined. I am so happy that finally, artists like us are also getting recognized for the weight we bring to a story.”
