Ahead of its March 19 release, the film Dhurandhar 2, starring Ranveer Singh as a Sikh character, has faced legal objections from the Sikh community. Complainants allege that scenes showing the character smoking tobacco disrespect Sikh religious principles, which prohibit tobacco use. A legal notice demands removal of these scenes from the film and promotional materials, along with a public apology. Authorities have been urged to address the issue, with potential legal action if demands are unmet.
