Mumbai, March 24 – Adding a quirky twist to a serious message, the Delhi Police drew inspiration from the iconic character "Jameel Jamali" from veteran actor Rakesh Bedi's film "Dhurandhar" to deliver a light-hearted yet impactful reminder about public safety.
The Delhi Police shared a cartoon-style safety poster on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), featuring a caricature of Rakesh's character, Jameel Jamali, holding a black motorcycle helmet in his hand.
Blending humour with awareness, the department added a text overlay featuring the iconic line "bachcha hai tu mera," spoken by Rakesh's character in the duology directed by Aditya Dhar.
The text overlay read: "Bachcha hai tu mera, ye le helmet pehan."
The caption by the Delhi Police read: "Wearing a helmet will make you safe."
Speaking about the popular character of Jameel Jamali, he is a manipulative and "fox-like" Pakistani politician from Karachi's Lyari. The character survives by navigating power dynamics and surprises by revealing a surprising alliance as an Indian intelligence asset.
"Dhurandhar" is the first installment of a duology released in 2025. The film stars Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal.
It centers on a high-stakes covert counter-terrorism operation. The film follows an undercover Indian intelligence agent who infiltrates Karachi's criminal syndicates and political power structures in Pakistan in an effort to dismantle a terror network targeting India.
"Dhurandhar: The Revenge" was recently released. It follows an undercover Indian intelligence agent who continues to infiltrate Karachi's criminal syndicates and Pakistani politics while avenging the 26/11 attacks and confronting bigger threats.
The film's storyline loosely draws inspiration from multiple real-life geopolitical events and conflicts in South Asia, such as Operation Lyari, the 2014 Indian general election, the 2016 Indian banknote demonetisation, and various other events.
Rakesh has appeared in over 150 films since the 1970s, along with numerous television and stage shows.
He is known for his iconic comedic roles in films such as Chashme Buddoor and Mera Damad. He has also appeared in television shows like Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi, Shrimaan Shrimati, Yes Boss, and Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hain.
