Late Major Mohit Sharma’s family sues *Dhurandhar* filmmakers over unauthorized portrayal
The family of late Major Mohit Sharma has filed a legal challenge against the upcoming film Dhurandhar. They claim the movie depicts the officer’s life and military operations without permission. The petition names several defendants, including the filmmakers and government bodies.
Major Sharma’s family argues that Dhurandhar closely mirrors his real-life experiences and covert missions. Their petition states that neither they nor the Indian Army authorized the portrayal. The family insists this violates their right to privacy, dignity, and the late officer’s posthumous rights.
The case now rests with the courts, where the family will push for restrictions on Dhurandhar. If successful, the ruling could impact how military stories are depicted in Indian cinema. The outcome may also set a precedent for future films based on real-life defence personnel.
