Social media was constantly abuzz with rumors that Ranveer Singh was playing Major Mohit Sharma in the film, but Aditya Dhar broke his silence and denied all these rumors. However, now, even before the film's release, the film is facing serious trouble as Major Mohit Sharma's family has approached the Delhi High Court.

Will Dhurandhar not be released on December 5?
According to a Bar & Bench report, the family members of Ashok Chakra winner Major Mohit Sharma have filed a petition in the Delhi High Court accusing the makers of 'Dhurandhar' of showing the secret operation and martyrdom of the Special Forces officer without taking permission from the Indian Army and Major Mohit Sharma's legal heirs.
In the petition, his family stated that martyrs are "not a commercial commodity" and that no one has the right to portray a soldier's life for personal gain without knowing the full truth, respecting, and accepting the lives of their people.

The petition also names the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), the Additional Directorate General of Public Information, and co-producer Aditya Dhar and Jio Studios.
In their petition, the family members have also requested that the release of "Dhurandhar" be halted and that a private screening be held for Major Mohit Sharma's family before the public premiere. They have also requested that any future film based on the life of martyr Major Mohit Sharma be made, requiring prior permission from the Army and his legal heirs.
