When asked if Aditya Dhar’s directorial is a propaganda film, Bedi said audience response is what truly matters. He told NDTV, “I don’t believe in politics. I think it’s the cinema… Everybody has the right to like or dislike a film. But I don’t think it’s right to put a film into some kind of a category… That it’s pro-establishment or anti-establishment. The verdict is that people are loving it.”
He also compared Dhurandhar 2 with recent political films. “Recently, there was a film on Indira Gandhi and (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi, these films didn’t run for even two days. Dhurandhar’s writing, screenplay is great. People haven’t seen a film of this scale being mounted ever.”

Bedi spoke about the overwhelming audience response. He said, “The expectations were already on the cards, and now they are out. Everybody is talking about the film very highly. So many shows are going on round the clock now.”
He added, “This is a mad frenzy which is going on. I’ve never seen something like this in my career at least. Many people have not seen this kind of a frenzy, madness, and euphoria for a film.”
He stressed that the film’s success is about cinema, not politics. According to Bedi, the writing, direction and scale of Dhurandhar 2 have captivated audiences nationwide.
Bedi also reacted to filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma comparing Dhurandhar 2 to Sholay. He told Times Now, “See, I really want to thank Ram Gopal Varma. Because he is one person who has vehemently and vociferously always said very strong words about the film and in favour of the film, through all platforms.”
