Ranveer Singh Film Faces Legal Battle
3 Dec
Summary
- Major Mohit Sharma's family sought a stay on the film's release.
- The CBFC cleared the film, calling it a work of fiction.
- Modifications were made to the film before certification.
The release of Ranveer Singh's film Dhurandhar was challenged by the family of the late Major Mohit Sharma. They approached the Delhi High Court seeking to halt the film's screening, asserting it unduly mirrored Major Sharma's military career without consent. The family argued that a martyr's life should not be commercialized without permission.
Despite these objections, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) granted Dhurandhar an 'A' certificate. The board confirmed the film as a work of fiction, stating no resemblance to Major Sharma's life. Several modifications, including scene removals and name changes, were made by the producers to comply with regulations before certification.
Dhurandhar's synopsis reveals a fictional plot centered on a 1999 hijacking and a 2001 parliament attack, focusing on an IB Chief's mission. Ranveer Singh's character, Hamza, is depicted as a spy, not an army officer. The film, featuring actors like Sanjay Dutt and Akshaye Khanna, is set to release on December 5 and includes a post-credits scene teasing a sequel.
