A ban petition has been filed against Dhurandhar: The Revenge in the Madras High Court, seeking to halt its release in Tamil Nadu. This development comes as a shock to fans, especially as the film continues its record-breaking box office run since release day.
Urgent Plea Over Model Code of Conduct
An urgent plea was raised in the Madras High Court seeking a ban on Dhurandhar: The Revenge release in Tamil Nadu. The petitioner argued the film deals with political themes and should not be released while the Model Code of Conduct is in force for the Assembly election.
The advocate stated the plea should be considered urgent, seeking a ban on the film’s screening in the state. She argued the content could influence voters due to its one-sided views, which violate the Model Code of Conduct. This Madras High Court petition follows earlier instances of Tamil Nadu's film restrictions during sensitive periods.
Court Response and Next Steps
Madras High Court Chief Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and Justice G Arul Murugan have directed that the oral plea be considered a formal petition. The court noted the submission and stated the hearing will take place after the petition is filed.
Dhurandhar 2 is directed by Aditya Dhar, with main characters played by Ranveer Singh, Madhavan, and Sara Arjun, along with Arjun Rampal, Rakesh Bedi, Sanjay Dutt, and others.
