In a revealing interview, Rajat Bedi revealed that it was Salman Khan who showed him the exit from the movie.

Not just that, he also promised him a significant film that would mark his grand comeback.
Salman Khan Removed Rajat Bedi From Radhe
In the interview, 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…” Explaining his family equation with Salman Khan and his family, Rajat said, “Unke saath kaam karne ka ek mauka mil jaye, voh hi bohot hai mere liye.”
On Salman’s version, 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?”
Although Rajat has yet to work with Salman Khan in a film, the actor made a special appearance on Rajat’s show, The Ba**ds of Bollywood*, creating a notable crossover moment.
