Pakistani politician Nabil Gabol, who believes Rakesh Bedi’s character Jameel Jamali in the 'Dhurandhar' franchise is based on him, conveyed his love to Bedi in an interview. "Give my message to Rakesh Bedi, that I respect you as very senior actor and I love you," he said. Gabol recently announced a project tentatively titled 'Lyari Ka Gabbar' to counter 'Dhurandhar'.
