Dhurandhar is caught in a cross-border storm.

Transcript

00:00Ranveer Singh's Dhurandar hasn't even released yet and it's already in the middle of cross-border

00:04controversy.

00:05First, in Delhi, the family of Ashoka Chakra awardee, Major Mohit Sharma has moved the

00:10high court.

00:11Their claim, the film borrows from their son's covert operations and life story without ever

00:16asking them.

00:18To them, the message is clear, a martyr's legacy isn't a creative shortcut and certainly

00:22not commercial property.

00:24The makers, though, insist Dhurandar is pure fiction.

00:27But with the matter already in court, the film may have to survive a few legal punches

00:31before its release.

00:32And then, controversy number 2 from Karachi Chaudhary Aslam, the real-life, rock-solid encounter

00:37specialist who built his reputation taking on terror groups.

00:41In the film, Sanjay Dutt appears as a character that looks way too close to Aslam.

00:45The styling, the swagger, even the backstory.

00:48And that's where the storm begins.

00:50Aslam's widow says the portrayal twists his image and turns a respected officer into

00:54a caricature.

00:55He's called it disrespectful and warned of legal action if the makers don't fix it.

00:59So, to summarize, one side says the film exploits an Indian Army hero, the other says it misinterprets

01:04a legendary Pakistani cop.

01:06And the makers are standing in the center shouting, guys, it's fiction.

01:10The film has also picked up an 18-plus rating overseas for strong violence, adding even more

01:15heat to the conversation.

01:16For now, the release is still set for December 5, 2025.

01:20But whether it arrives untouched, edited or with a fresh disclaimer, that's the real cliffhanger.

01:25So, let's go.
