Delhi High Court dismissed stay order on Dhurandhar

For the unversed, on November 28, 2025, parents of late Major Mohit Sharma filed a petition in Court, claiming that the film, Dhurandhar appears to be inspired by Mohit Sharma's life, his undercover operations and more. They shared that a martyr is "not a commercial commodity", and no one has the right to use their life for profit, especially without consent.

"Respected @ndtv, A credible media house is expected to report facts and not mere speculations. People are having a field day adding to it. The parents are waiting for that one confirmation whether this is about their son. @AdityaDharFilms I don't think it's Mohit, do you?"

On November 26, 2025, Aditya Dhar replied to him and officially revealed that his film, Dhurandhar is not based on the life of late Major Mohit Sharma. Aditya also shared that if he ever makes a biopic on the brave soldier, he will do it with consent. He had shared:

"Hi, sir - our film Dhurandhar is not based on the life of brave heart Major Mohit Sharma AC(P) SM. This is an official clarification. I assure you, if we do make a biopic on Mohit sir in the future, we will do it with full consent and in complete consultation with the family, and in a way that truly honors his sacrifice for the nation and the legacy it has left for all of us. Jai Hind."
