Is Ranveer Singh playing this real-life spy in Dhurandhar

Actor Ranveer Singh has left the internet amazed with his new look in the upcoming spy action-thriller ‘Dhurandhar’. Social media users have been speculating about him playing National Security Advisor (NSA), Ajit Doval in the movie. However, there are possibilities that Singh will play a lesser-known, yet crucial, real-life spy in the film. A section of Reddit users claimed that Singh plays the younger version of Doval, while Madhavan portrays the mature version, while narrating the backstory. The NSA chief himself, alongside media reports, have mentioned about him staying in Pakistan as part of a cover-up mission.

In covert operations carried out by intelligence agencies, there could often be more than one agent involved in espionage. Is Doval the only official who was involved with an espionage-related mission in Pakistan? The visuals from the film depict the time period of 2000s. While Doval’s speculated spy missions fall along the timeline of the 1980s-1990s.

Going by the first look, ‘Dhurandhar’ is possibly the story of an Indian spy, told from the viewpoint of the current NSA chief. Reddit has indicated at Singh’s character actually being Sena Medal and Ashoka Chakra recipient Major Mohit Sharma from the elite 1st Para (Special Forces).

Major Sharma was an Indian Army Officer who was awarded two gallantry decorations earlier in his career. The first was the COAS Commendation card for exemplary counter-terrorism duties during Operation Rakshak. It was followed by a Sena Medal for gallantry after a covert operation in 2005.

Major Sharma was posthumously awarded the Ashoka Chakra, India‘s highest peace-time military decoration, in 2009. The 31-year-old, died during an encounter with terrorists in the Hafruda forest of the Kupwara sector of Jammu and Kashmir.

Since Singh is shown in a youthful, bearded appearance which has a close resemblance to Sharma, it is likely that the actor is playing the Para SF officer. Considered as India’s most daring military legends, the army Major had infiltrated terror networks in Pakistan under the alias “Iqbal” and gained the trust of militants, as reported by Zee News.
