The Controversy and Official Clarification
The controversy surrounding 'Dhurandhar' began when its high-octane trailer (Check the Trailer Here >>) and promotional material led media and social media users to draw parallels between Ranveer Singh's character and Major Sharma's well-documented covert operations.Major Mohit Sharma's Family's Petition
Major Sharma's parents filed a petition in the Delhi High Court, seeking a stay on the film's release. Their argument centered on the claim that the film appeared to exploit the life and service of their son, a national hero, without their consent, violating his right to dignity and their family's right to reputation. They also raised concerns about the unauthorized depiction of sensitive Special Forces operations.Director's and CBFC's Verdict
Aditya Dhar's Denial: Director Aditya Dhar responded publicly to Major Sharma's brother, Madhur Sharma, on social media, issuing an official clarification that 'Dhurandhar' is not based on the life of Major Mohit Sharma. Dhar assured the family that any future biopic would be made only with their full consent.CBFC Ruling: Following the High Court's directive to review the family's concerns, the CBFC conducted a fresh examination. The Board ultimately rejected the family's objections, concluding that the movie is a "work of fiction" and bears no factual or biographical connection to Major Sharma's life or service.
The film has since been certified 'A' (Adult) and is set for release on December 5, 2025. The filmmakers have maintained that the movie, while inspired by real-life incidents and geopolitical conflicts (specifically citing inspiration from Operation Lyari in Karachi, Pakistan), is a fictional narrative.
