A petition has reportedly been filed before the Madras High Court requesting a halt on the release of Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge in Tamil Nadu, citing concerns related to the model code of conduct
in place ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections in the state.
According to Live Law, an advocate reportedly made an oral submission before Chief Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and Justice G Arul Murugan, contending that the film carries political themes and should not be screened during the election period. With Tamil Nadu heading to the polls in a month, the timing of the release has become a matter of concern.
However, the bench asked the petitioner to file a formal writ petition before seeking an urgent hearing on the issue. A decision on whether the film’s release will be stalled is likely only after the court considers the plea.
Dhurandhar 2, released on March 19, is a sequel to the first part that set the box office on fire in 2025. The second installment revolving around Ranveer Singh’s character, also stars Arjun Rampal, Rakesh Bedi, Sara Arjun, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Danish Pandor and Gaurav Gera in important roles. The Aditya Dhar directorial has been enjoying a monstrous run at the box office, shattering several records.
The buzz around Dhurandhar 2 has been nothing short of phenomenal, with both audiences and celebrities coming together to shower praise on the film’s gripping narrative, high-octane action, and standout performances. Social media has been flooded with appreciation posts, with fans calling it a “complete mass entertainer” and applauding its scale and storytelling. Celebrities, too, have joined the chorus. Celebs like Rajinikanth, SS Rajamouli, Vijay Deverakonda, Alia Bhatt, Kartik Aaryan, Ayushmann Khurrana, Allu Arjun, Mahesh Babu, Ram Charan, Nagarjuna, Ram Gopal Varma, among other have lauded Aditya Dhar’s solid filmmaking skills. With such widespread acclaim pouring in from both fans and some of the biggest names in the industry, Dhurandhar 2 has firmly positioned itself as one of the most talked-about and celebrated releases of the season.
