‘Dhurandhar’ Lands in Fresh Legal Trouble

Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar has landed in legal trouble yet again.

Days after a writer accused the film of plagiarism, a serving soldier, Deepak Kumar, has now approached the Delhi High Court, alleging that the movie violates the Official Secrets Act by depicting sensitive information related to armed forces operations.

Although the Delhi High Court observed that the Aditya Dhar directorial is “fictional” and created for “entertainment purposes”, it also noted that the soldier’s concerns “cannot be ignored”.

The court has now directed the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the Censor Board to examine the matter seriously.
