The first look of Ranveer Singh’s highly anticipated film Dhurandhar is finally released. The makers of the movie dropped a few-minute video clip that shows the characters who have been roped in for the film. Ranveer Singh’s massy performance in the first look has already wooed the audience.

With the first look going viral, fans are speculating that the film is inspired by the life of India’s National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval, renowned for his covert operations and strategic planning behind the 2016 surgical strikes. However, the makers have stayed silent on the matter, neither confirming nor denying these speculations.

Who Is Dhurandhar Really Based On?

Although the makers have remained tight-lipped about the man behind the film, internet theories and several reports indicate that the movie might be based on a heroic figure — Major Mohit Sharma.

Who Was Major Mohit Sharma?

Major Mohit Sharma was a Para Special Forces officer who is among the most celebrated personalities when it comes to heroic figures. Mohit Sharma undertook covert operations deep inside enemy territory.

Posing as a local, he infiltrated terror networks in Pakistan under the alias “Iqbal,” earning the trust of militants — an achievement that few Indian operatives have ever matched.
