New Delhi, December 03, 2025: The release of Ranveer Singh’s highly anticipated spy-action thriller, Dhurandhar, is just around the corner, and the excitement has reached a fever pitch. Recent leaks regarding the film’s official synopsis and the post-credits sequence have offered a glimpse into the massive scale of director Aditya Dhar’s vision, while officially putting a long-standing controversy to rest.
For months, speculation has been rife that Ranveer Singh’s character in Dhurandhar was inspired by the life of the late, decorated soldier, Major Mohit Sharma (Ashoka Chakra recipient). This concern led to a petition filed by the Major’s family in the Delhi High Court.
Director Aditya Dhar had previously clarified that the film is a work of fiction. Now, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has officially confirmed this, following a fresh examination directed by the Delhi High Court. The CBFC concluded that:
This definitive clearance allows the film to proceed with its scheduled release, reassuring the audience that it is a fictional spy thriller, albeit one rooted in the backdrop of real geopolitical conflicts.
The synopsis leak confirms the film’s gritty, high-stakes premise. Set against the backdrop of critical events like the 1999 IC-814 hijacking and the 2001 Parliament attack, the story centers on India’s Intelligence Bureau Chief, Ajay Sanyal (reportedly played by R. Madhavan).
Sanyal devises a daring mission to infiltrate and dismantle a powerful terrorist network operating out of Karachi, Pakistan, allegedly inspired by the city’s notorious ‘Operation Lyari’ crackdown on crime syndicates. To execute this, he recruits a raw, 20-year-old boy from Punjab—Ranveer Singh’s character—who is then molded into the key asset needed to penetrate the ruthless underworld. The narrative promises a deep dive into the dangerous world of covert operations, espionage, and cross-border conflict.
Adding an extraordinary layer to the cinematic experience, insider reports confirm that Dhurandhar will feature a massive four-minute-long post-credits scene.
With an ‘A’ certification and a confirmed runtime of over three hours (214.1 minutes), Dhurandhar is shaping up to be an ambitious and expansive cinematic event that aims to launch a new, major spy franchise in Indian cinema.
