Dhurandhar is one of the highly-anticipated movies of the year. Starring Ranveer Singh in lead role, the movie is based on the true events of India's mission against terrorism in the neighbouring country, Pakistan. The espionage thriller hits cinemas on December 5. If the reports are to be believed, Dhurandhar is inspired by the high-stakes missions of either India’s National Security Advisor Ajit Doval or the brave army officer Major Mohit Sharma.
Is Ranveer Singh playing Major Mohit Sharma in Dhurandhar?
Social media users are abuzz with theories about Ranveer Singh's role in Dhurandhar. Fans speculate if he is essaying the role of Major Mohit Sharma, the highly decorated Indian Army officer known for his covert missions inside Pakistan. According to reports, Major Sharma operated undercover across the border under the alias “Iqbal,” carrying out several daring missions.
Major Mohit Sharma was posthumously honoured with the Ashoka Chakra after being martyred during a counter-terror operation in Kashmir.
