Pakistani politician Nabil Gabol criticized his portrayal in Ranveer Singh's blockbuster Dhurandhar, where Rakesh Bedi plays character Jameel Jamali based on him. The former Member of National Assembly and Minister of State for Ports and Shipping told media his role wasn't depicted accurately, stating his real persona was "very audacious" unlike the film's portrayal. Gabol disputed the film's depiction of his hometown Lyari as a terrorist hub, asserting "if their agent had been there, he would not have gone back alive from Lyari." The spy thriller, directed by Aditya Dhar, features Ranveer as an Indian spy infiltrating Lyari's criminal networks. The film has earned over ₹700 crore worldwide despite criticism in Pakistan for tarnishing the country's image.
