Major Sharma’s Parents Take Dhurandhar to HC ...?
Aditya Dhar’s upcoming action drama Dhurandhar is embroiled in controversy ahead of its release.
Online speculation suggests the film mirrors the life and covert missions of the late Major mohit sharma AC(P) SM.
Major Sharma’s parents have approached the delhi High court seeking a stay on the film.
Parents allege that Dhurandhar draws directly from Major Sharma’s life and classified operations in Kashmir.
They claim Ranveer Singh’s character is inspired by their son.
The petition states that the filmmakers did not seek consent from the family or the indian Army.
It highlights media speculation linking the film to Major Sharma despite no verification from the makers.
The petition emphadata-sizes that Major Sharma “is not a commercial commodity” and opposes fictionalising his service for profit.
The parents argue that the film compromises national security by replicating army strategies, procedures, and operational details.
They note the film was neither vetted by the army nor screened by the Additional Directorate General of Public Information (ADGPI).
