Is Dhurandhar Based On Real Events? If Not Mohit Sharma, Then Whose Role Is Ranveer Singh Playing?

Aditya Dhar's movie, Dhurandhar, has been making the headlines since the time the trailer was dropped. With the movie featuring a stellar star cast and action in every corner, the audience was left baffled with thoughts about the film carving a special place in their hearts. While digging more about the movie, some assumptions were made about whether it was based on a real-life event, given that Ranveer was seen playing the part of an Indian spy, who was in Pakistan, seemingly for a hidden operation.

Speculations were rife that his role might be inspired by Major Mohit Sharma, but Aditya Dhar denied the same, after controversies were rife and even Major Mohit Sharma's family reached out to the Delhi High Court, claiming that the actor's role seems to have been inspired by him, but it was done without the family's consent.

Is Dhurandhar based on real-life events?

While Ranveer Singh plays the role of an Indian soldier who infiltrated terrorist groups, Aditya Dhar clarified that his role was not inspired by Mohit Sharma and the movie is not a biopic, but rather inspired by real events. So, what is the real event that Dhurandhar depicts, and who is Ranveer Singh actually playing? Let's dive deep while having an eye on the real-life inspirations in Dhurandhar!

Since the trailer of Dhurandhar was dropped, people have been asking only one question: 'Is the movie based on real-life events?' To answer the same, Aditya Dhar already clarified that it's a fictional storytelling with deep layers that were inspired by real-life events. The term Dhurandhar already reveals the essence of the movie. Dhurandhar means stalwart, which means strong and dependable, and as the movie features some of the strongest characters through Ranveer Singh, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Akshaye Khanna, and Sanjay Dutt, the title seems apt from every angle.

Spy-action-thrillers are, in general, a very loved genre among cinelovers as these kinds of movies deal with something that we as normal beings are not supposed to hear, know, or see. Now, Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar exactly occupies that place where viewers can see what happened (inspired by real events), what could have happened, and what could be spoken about (through fiction). Dhurandhar doesn't deal with a single operation but spreads wider, showing Indian intelligence operations in Pakistan, and R&AW agents staying under cover for years to gather information while secretly living in Pakistan.

The movie is also inspired by some counterterror operations that shaped Indian intelligence after some of the major attacks, like 26/11. Apart from that, a huge chunk of the movie has been inspired by Operation Lyari, which introduces the key figure 'Chaudhary Aslam Khan', played by Sanjay Dutt, who, during an operation, killed 'Rahman Dakait', whose role will be played by Akshaye Khanna in the movie.

Who is Ranveer Singh playing in Dhurandhar if not Major Mohit Sharma?

There were speculations that Ranveer Singh's role in Dhurandhar will be inspired by Major Mohit Sharma, who, during an operation, took the name of 'Iftikhar Bhatt', met the terrorists, and worked with them while keeping his identity hidden, only to infiltrate the Islamist terrorist organisation, Hizbul Mujahideen. He successfully took down two terrorists, Abu Torara and Abu Sabzar. Reports claimed that Ranveer might play his role in the movie, but later Aditya Dhar denied the same. So, the question about who Ranveer Singh is playing in Dhurandhar still remains unanswered in a way, which may or may not be disclosed eventually.
