Actor Rajat Bedi, recently seen in the series The Ba*ds of Bollywood, has addressed the resurfaced rumors about his exclusion from Salman Khan's 2021 film, Radhe. Far from being a professional fallout, Bedi revealed that Khan himself advised him to step away from the role, stating that he wanted the actor to have a more impactful return to the screen.
The Radhe Opportunity and the 'Bhai' Intervention
Rajat Bedi, known for films like Koi... Mil Gaya and International Khiladi, was looking to make a substantial comeback to mainstream cinema after a long hiatus.
The Selection: Bedi confirmed that he had been offered and accepted a role in Radhe after being selected by the casting director, seeing it as a great opportunity to return to the big screen, particularly alongside Salman Khan.
The Hold-Up: According to Bedi, when Salman Khan learned that he was doing the role, the superstar called him for a meeting. Salman allegedly told him, "Rajat, tu wait kar thoda sa; I want to give you a comeback vehicle which will be much better than Radhe."
The Reason: Salman Khan reportedly felt that the offered role was not a fitting vehicle for Bedi's "height, body, and personality," and that he deserved a more significant opportunity.
Heartbreak vs. Respect
While Bedi admitted to being "heartbroken" and initially disappointed at losing the chance to work with the superstar on Radhe, he ultimately understood and respected the gesture.
No Fallout: Rajat Bedi's account firmly rubbishes rumors of a professional feud or fallout, instead framing Salman Khan's intervention as an act of personal advice and support, stemming from the long-standing ties between the two families.
Indirect Reunion: Interestingly, while a film reunion hasn't happened yet, Salman Khan did make a cameo appearance in Rajat Bedi's comeback series, The Ba*ds of Bollywood.
Bedi’s clarification positions the incident not as an act of removal, but as a strategic advisory move by Salman Khan, designed to protect the actor's interests and ensure his eventual return would be in a strong, central role.
