Dhurandhar 2 has landed in legal trouble after a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was filed in the Delhi High Court over the film’s alleged portrayal of sensitive intelligence and defense operations.
PIL Alleges Official Secrets Act Violation
The petition was filed by Deepak Kumar, a personnel from the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), who alleged that the film violates the Official Secrets Act by revealing tactical and confidential details related to India’s intelligence and defense activities.
Delhi High Court’s Direction to CBFC
In a significant development, the Delhi High Court directed the Central Government and the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to examine the concerns raised in the petition. According to reports, the court asked both authorities to treat the PIL as an official representation and take an informed decision regarding the matter.
However, the bench also observed that the allegations made in the petition were not fully backed by substantial material evidence at this stage.
The bench, comprising Chief Justice DK Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia, reportedly stated that the censor board should establish proper guidelines while handling films dealing with sensitive national security topics.
About Dhurandhar 2
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar 2 stars Ranveer Singh in the lead role. The film reportedly follows the life and mission of an undercover Indian intelligence agent who infiltrates Pakistan as part of a dangerous secret operation.
This is not the first time Dhurandhar 2 has faced legal challenges. Earlier, a ban petition was filed in Madras High Court over political content during Tamil Nadu elections.
This latest legal trouble faced by Dhurandhar 2 has now sparked major discussions across social media and the film industry, with many closely watching how the CBFC and central authorities respond to the court’s direction in the coming days.
