Dhurandhar lands in a legal tangle. Ranveer Singh is starring in Dhurandhar, a patriotic spy thriller directed by Aditya Dhar. The film is slated for a grand release on 5 December 2025 and the trailer released increased the speculation that the film is based on the real life incidents of Major Mohit Sharma.
Though the makers confirmed that the film is not a biopic, the family members of Major Mohit Sharma approached High Court to stall the film release. Delhi High Court though refused to stay the film's release, however directed the CBFC to take the concerns of the family members before clearing the film for theatrical release.
Advocate Roopenshu Pratap Singh, who is representing the parents of the late officer, stated "The High Court has directed the CBFC to consider all the points raised by the petitioner. After that, they'll decide on the issue of certification, which is still in the pipeline. It has not been issued yet, so let the CBFC consider all the points raised by the petitioner or the parents of late Major Mohit Sharma. They also said that if there were any issues related to the army, then the competent authority from the army, ADGPI, should also consider the same points and submit them to the CBFC,"
He continued "Our objection is that since the teaser was released in September, it features only one real-life character, late Major Mohit Sharma. The other characters, like the character of SAA, are also based on real-life figures. The main protagonist revolves around the late Major Mohit Sharma only,
He added "That is the major point raised by the petitioner. The matter has already been disposed of, as all the responses are before the court today. The directions are specifically for the CBFC. If there is anything else, we can obviously file an injunction application again in the main petition. We still have that legal option open to us,"
The film stars Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal, with Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi in important roles.
