This man is the real inspiration behind Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar, not NSA Ajit Doval, A. S. Dulat, Kulbhushan Jadhav, he was...
The first look of Ranveer Singh's highly anticipated film Dhurandhar is finally released. The makers of the movie dropped a few-minute video clip that shows the characters who have been roped in for the film. Ranveer Singh's massy performance in the first look has already wooed the audience. With the first look going viral, fans are speculating that the film is inspired by the life of India's National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval, renowned for his covert operations and strategic planning behind the 2016 surgical strikes. However, the makers have stayed silent on the matter, neither confirming nor denying these speculations. Who Is Dhurandhar Really Based On? Although the makers have remained tight-lipped about the man behind the film, internet theories and several reports indicate that the movie might be based on a heroic figure — Major Mohit Sharma. Who Was Major Mohit Sharma? Major Mohit Sharma was a Para Special Forces officer who is among the most celebrated personalities when it comes to heroic figures. Mohit Sharma undertook covert operations deep inside enemy territory. Posing as a local, he infiltrated terror networks in Pakistan under the alias 'Iqbal,' earning the trust of militants — an achievement that few Indian operatives have ever matched. About Dhurandhar Dhurandhar's first look features R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Sanjay Dutt in key roles. The movie is directed by Aditya Dhar and is set for a global theatrical release on December 5, 2025.

Meet actor who romanced Aishwarya Rai, worked with Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, then lost all his money, cleaned toilets, now works as..., he is...
If you were watching South Indian cinema in the late '90s, chances are you swooned over Abbas. Debuting in Kadhal Desam (1996), the actor quickly rose to fame with hits like VIP, Pooveli, Jeans, Padayappa, and Kandukondain Kandukondain. With his chocolate-boy charm and quiet intensity, Abbas became a pan-India crush. But the dream didn't last long After a string of flops in the early 2000s, the actor, once flooded with offers, was soon relegated to supporting roles and blink-and-miss cameos. Minnale (2001) gave the spotlight to R. Madhavan. And by the mid-2000s, Abbas had exited the industry altogether. Before he became a star, Abbas had already battled his demons. In an emotional interview with Rednool, he recalled a traumatic turning point in his youth. 'During my teenage years, I went through a tumultuous period where I contemplated taking my own life after failing the 10th grade. The departure of my girlfriend at the time intensified those thoughts,' he said. One moment of empathy changed his fate. As he considered stepping in front of a vehicle, Abbas paused. 'Even in my darkest moment, I found myself considering the well-being of another individual.' That single thought saved him. From the silver screen to survival jobs Abbas made a failed Bollywood debut with Ansh: The Deadly Part and his career nosedived. He found himself broke, disillusioned, and detached from his craft. 'Some of my movies faced failure, leaving me financially destitute and unable to afford even necessities like rent or cigarettes,' he revealed. He sought help from producer RB Choudary and landed a role in Pooveli, but the spark was gone. 'I wasn't enjoying my work.' Eventually, he left India, settling in New Zealand — and began rebuilding life from scratch. 'I worked as a bike mechanic and drove taxis,' he said, describing it as survival, not shame. Life in a New Land Far from film sets, Abbas's reality was simple: construction sites, public restrooms, and unrecognised stardom. 'People there would wonder if they have seen me somewhere… I would be like, 'Yes, I keep getting that,'' he shared. When he occasionally admitted he was that Abbas, reactions ranged from stunned to silent. He took on any work he could find — including appearing in a toilet cleaner ad. 'That helped me run my household,' he said. The glitz was gone, but dignity remained. During the pandemic, Abbas did something he rarely does: logged in. 'While residing in New Zealand, I utilised Zoom calls to connect with fans. I intended to assist those in need,' he explained. His story, one of stardom, loss, and silent perseverance, resonated with those struggling in silence. Abbas never became a blockbuster hero. But perhaps his most inspiring role was the one off-screen, that of a man who dared to begin again.
