Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar' lands in trouble, Major Mohit Sharma seeks stay on the film's release for this reason: Report

With Dhurandhar, Aditya Dhar once again turns to the intersection of history and national security, but this time he uses the grammar of a big-budget action thriller to explore how Pakistan’s intelligence establishment imagines its long confrontation with India. The film’s trailer suggests that Dhar isn’t just staging a cross-border conflict; he’s trying to dramatise the worldview that has shaped decades of covert operations.

But as per a report, Major Mohit Sharma has approached the Delhi High Court and asked for a stay on the release of this action drama. Sharma has stated that the film’s portrayal of his covert operations could put the nation’s security at jeopardy, and no consent of his or his family was taken. The plea has the names of Jio Studios, Aditya Dhar, Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the Central Board of Film Certification.

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."

Rather than retelling historical events,   _Dhurandhar_ traces the intellectual lineage of this strategy. Dhar situates the ISI’s worldview in the rhetoric of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, whose speeches in the late 1960s and during the 1965 war articulated a vision of perpetual struggle with India. Bhutto’s insistence on a “thousand-year war” and his argument that confrontation was a form of self-preservation formed the seed of what would later harden into a covert, attritional doctrine.
