Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar': Major Mohit Sharma's brother breaks silence on the controversy 'We just want the producers to clarify and tell us...'

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.

Major Mohit Sharma’s brother breaks silence

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.”

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."

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.
