Mumbai — The upcoming Indian action film “Dhurandhar” continues to draw attention after a candid revelation from the widow of slain police officer Chaudhary Aslam, who shared that her late husband strongly disliked the fact that she was a fan of Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt.
In a recent interview linked to the film’s promotions, Aslam’s widow recalled that her admiration for Sanjay Dutt often irritated her husband, saying he would jokingly express disapproval whenever she brought up the actor. The remark quickly went viral, adding another layer of controversy to a film already under scrutiny for its portrayal of crime and cross-border themes.
“Dhurandhar,” which features a storyline loosely inspired by real-life encounters and law enforcement battles, has been facing criticism online for allegedly including anti-Pakistan undertones. While the filmmakers have dismissed the concerns, social media users have continued to debate the film’s narrative and timing.
The personal anecdote from Aslam’s widow has further amplified public interest, with supporters of the late officer questioning the use of his name and legacy in promotional content. Meanwhile, fans of Sanjay Dutt have responded playfully, treating the revelation as a light-hearted glimpse into celebrity admiration and marital humor.
The film’s team has not commented on the viral statement, but industry analysts believe the added publicity—controversial or not—may boost the movie’s visibility ahead of release.
