Not Mohit Sharma, Dhurandhar inspired by one of the biggest covert operations? From Madhavan to Sanjay Dutt, who plays who | Bollywood News

Much has been said about Aditya Dhar’s upcoming film Dhurandhar. When the first look came out, it was believed that Ranveer Singh was playing real-life hero Late Major Mohit Sharma AC SM. However, film’s director Aditya Dhar ended all speculation after he said that Ranveer’s character is not based on Major Sharma. However, the late soldier’s parents took the matter to the Delhi High Court, requesting a stay on the film. On the court’s orders, the Central Board of Film Certification watched the film and gave it a go-ahead, saying that there are no similarities in the film to the soldier’s life. Later, Major Sharma’s elder brother Madhur Sharma said they accept the decision but wished the film was shown to his parents too. “I just feel that a screening could have been organised for the parents so that any misconceptions floating on social media could have been clarified. People who have lived their entire life with him are in a better position to tell if anything in the film replicates his life, rather than …

In a significant relief for director Aditya Dhar’s Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has cleared the hurdles that had cast uncertainty on its impending release. Following the Delhi High Court’s directions to consider the objections raised by the parents of Army officer Major Mohit Sharma, who claimed that the movie appears to be directly inspired by his life, the board re-examined Dhurandhar on Tuesday, December 2. Subsequently, it ruled that the spy actioner is a work of fiction with no factual or biographical connection to Major Mohit Sharma. In their petition to the High Court, Major Mohit Sharma’s parents, who was martyred during a counter-terrorism operation in Jammu and Kashmir in 2009, alleged that Dhurandhar, purportedly based on their son’s life, was created without their consent or that of the Indian Army. Seeking a stay on the film’s release, they also demanded a private screening before its worldwide release. On Monday, while disposing of the petition, the court had directed the CBFC to consider the objections raised by the plaintiffs. …

Even though its release date is right around the corner, director Aditya Dhar’s Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar is yet to receive a green signal from all quarters, ensuring its peaceful debut, as controversies continue to rock the spy actioner. After Dhurandhar sparked controversy following the release of its trailer for its extremely graphic depiction of violence and lead star Ranveer Singh faced criticism for his recent impression of the daiva from Kantara 2, which many felt was disrespectful, the film again made headlines when the parents of Army officer Major Mohit Sharma moved the court against the spy actioner. Claiming that the film appears to be directly inspired by the life of Major Mohit Sharma, who was killed in the line of duty in 2009 while conducting operations targeting terrorist groups in Jammu and Kashmir, his family sought a stay on Dhurandhar’s release, pointing out that it was created without taking consent from them or the Army.
