Ranveer Singh not playing Major Mohit Sharma?

Aditya Dhar recently tweeted- “Our film Dhurandhar is not based on the life of braveheart Major Mohit Sharma AC(P) SM.  This is an official clarification."

I assure you, if we do make a biopic on Mohit sir in the future, we will do it with full consent and in complete consultation with the family, and in a way that truly honors his sacrifice for the nation and the legacy it has left for all of us."

Mohit Sharma’s brother Madhur, speaking to Hindustan Times, spoke about the controversy around   _Dhurandhar_ and said, “Ever since the film was announced, there is a lot of information on social media suggesting it is based on my brother. Reputed media channels and influencers with millions of followers have drawn correlations. We just want the producers to clarify and tell us the reality.”
