Aditya Dhar's Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar: The Revenge has been on a dream run at the box office worldwide. However, the film finds itself in the centre of controversy as an image of Ranveer smoking while wearing a pagdi (turban) keeps circulating on social media, leading to hurt sentiments.
The director clarified in a note on social media, stating that AI-generated images are being circulated to create 'false and misleading' narratives.
Aditya Dhar addressed the image of Ranveer's character, Jaskirat Singh Rangi, alias Hamza Ali Mazari, smoking while wearing a turban, saying it is completely untrue and does not form part of the film or any official material released by them.
The filmmaker urged people to only depend on official content and ended his note with, 'I urge audiences to rely only on official content and watch the film as it is intended, and not fall prey to AI-generated misinformation being circulated with ulterior motives.'
