The shooting of Aditya Dhar's 'Dhurandhar 2' is underway, and leaked videos have surfaced online featuring Sanjay Dutt in a scene that bears an uncanny resemblance to the 2012 Lyari shootout in Pakistan, which left seven people dead. Videos shared on social media show Sanjay Dutt, dressed as his character SP Chaudhary Aslam, aka The Jinn, in the midst of a chaotic street scene. The footage appears to depict a shootout, with extras dressed as policemen and Sanjay Dutt walking away from the scene. Another video shows cars and bike props on fire, and an ambulance passing through the chaos. The scene has drawn comparisons to the real-life Lyari shootout, which was captured on camera by a Pakistani reporter in 2012. The 5-minute video shows the intense shootout between police and the Baloch gang, with grenades and rockets being thrown at the policemen. The internet has been quick to point out the similarities between the two scenes, with some users claiming that the film's director has borrowed heavily from the real-life incident. The film, titled 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge', is set to release on March 19 and stars Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, and Sanjay Dutt, among others. While the film's team has not commented on the controversy, the leaked videos have sparked a heated debate online, with some users expressing concerns about the film's depiction of violence and its potential impact on viewers. As the film's release date draws near, the controversy is likely to continue, with many calling for a more nuanced approach to depicting real-life violence on screen.
