Rajat Bedi made a grand comeback with Aryan Khan's The Ba***ds Of Bollywood. Recently, he revealed that he was set to return to the big screen with Salman Khan-starrer Radhe, however, the latter removed him from the film. Rajat was set to star in Salman's film but was unexpectedly asked to step aside. Salman reportedly requested Rajat to "wait" for a potential comeback opportunity, promising a significant film that would mark his grand return.
According to a report in News18, Rajat said, "Radhe main maine bilkul offer accept kiya. Mujhe Mukesh Chhabra ke office se phone aaya ki aap select ho gaye ho Radhe ke liye. Main bada khushi khushi jo unke (the film’s) writer hain, unko bhi mila. Voh bhi bade khush the… Radhe se mujhe laga bohot badhiya comeback vehicle mil jayega."
He further added, "Bohot badhiya project hai, aur specially, bhai (Salman Khan) ke saath kaam karna toh sabki iccha hai… Salman bhai ke saath toh humaare paarivarik rishte…" Rajat explained how his father and grandfather were close to Salim Khan and his family. “Unke saath kaam karne ka ek mauka mil jaye, voh hi bohot hai mere liye."
Talking about Salman Khan's vision, Bedi said, "Bhai ne mujhe bulaya… jab bhai ko pata laga ki Rajat voh role karne wala hai, tab bhai ne mujhe kaha, ‘Rajat, tu wait kar thoda sa; I want to give you a comeback vehicle which will be much better than Radhe.’ Jab bhai ne mujhe bola toh main chup reh gaya… bola ki, ‘Rajat, teri height, body aur personality are very good; you’ve maintained yourself very well, you wait, I’m going to give you a big comeback.’ Bhai ko kaun mana kar sakta hai?"
The old interview has now surfaced online in which Bedi continued, "or Radhe, they called me for a role through Prabhu Deva sir at Mehboob Studio. Salman bhai was there, and he was like, ‘You’re not going to do this one as it is not an appropriate role for you.’ I was heartbroken. I was like, ‘Sir, I’m getting a film to do with you and you’re saying, ‘I’ll give you something better, wait.’ I said, ‘Okay, I’m waiting to work with bhai again.'"
Although Rajat hasn't collaborated with Salman Khan in a film yet, Salman did make a special appearance on Rajat's show, The Ba***ds of Bollywood, marking a notable crossover.
