Parents of Major Mohit Sharma Move Delhi High Court Seeking Stay on Release of Ranveer Singh’s ‘Dhurandhar’

The parents of Ashoka Chakra awardee Major Mohit Sharma, killed in the 2009 Kupwara operation, have moved the Delhi HC seeking a stay on the release of the upcoming film Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh.

The petition alleges that the film’s trailer and narrative appear to be “directly inspired” by his undercover life and martyrdom, and claims no consent was obtained from his family or the Army.

The family argues this amounts to a violation of the martyr’s “posthumous personality rights” and infringes their rights to privacy, dignity and reputation under Article 21.

They also raise concerns over unauthorised depiction of sensitive military operations and request a private screening before the public release.
