Rakesh Bedi’s Latest Comment Adds Fuel To The Dhurandhar Inspiration Controversy
Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar has hit theatres, and the movie is already receiving overwhelming love from the audience. Just hours before its release, actor Rakesh Bedi made a fresh statement about the film, which has once again ignited the conversation around its inspiration.
Speaking to ITV Blink, the veteran actor revealed that while the movie is not based on the life of Major Mohit Sharma, it may be inspired by his journey. “Every film has a mother film. Sholay's mother film was Seven Samurai… or Five Man Army. Kahin na kahin se toh koi bhi film inspire hoti hai. Har cheez kahin na kahin se inspire hoti hai, lekin uska matlab yeh nahi ki uske upar bani hai yeh film," Bedi shared.
He further continued, “I salute Mohit Sharma for what he did, but definitely… it may be inspired from there, but it's not based on it. Lekin main iss baare mein bolne wala kaun hoon – meri authority nahi hai. But I know this much: every story is inspired from somewhere. There's a good saying that nothing is ‘new under the sun'. Nothing is completely new."
Talking about his character, Bedi said it is loosely inspired by a real Pakistani politician. “In fact, the character I play adjusts himself within Pakistan. I've seen him in their Senate, their Parliament, when Nawaz Sharif or Bhutto is giving a speech, this man is sitting behind them. I studied his mannerisms on YouTube quite minutely. Even my appearance resembles him a bit. But that doesn't mean the character is based on him, it may simply be inspired by him."
Controversy surrounding Dhurandhar
The parents of the late Major Mohit Sharma, an Ashoka Chakra and Sena Medal awardee, had approached the Delhi High Court seeking an immediate stay on the release of the film.
In their petition, they alleged that Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar is based on the life, undercover missions, and martyrdom of the decorated Special Forces officer, all without permission from the family or the Indian Army. They sought protection for their son's legacy. However, the film's director later clarified that the spy thriller is fictional and not based on the Major's life.
