The Legal Battle Over 'Dhurandhar The Revenge' Comes to a Close

The legal tussle involving Aditya Dhar’s 'Dhurandhar The Revenge' has finally seen a resolution as the Bombay High Court disposed of a defamation case. Filmmaker Santosh Kumar formally apologized for his remarks, leading to the closure of the case.

Background of the Dispute

The dispute dates back to March 2026 when Kumar accused Dhar of plagiarizing the storyline for 'Dhurandhar The Revenge' from his script 'D-Saheb.' The allegations sparked a legal battle, with Dhar seeking to protect his professional reputation from the defamatory claims.

Resolution and Future Implications

Justice Arif Doctor presided over the case and closed it after Kumar issued an unconditional apology in court. While the defamation suit is resolved, Kumar retains the right to pursue separate legal action regarding the script ownership issue, potentially leading to further litigation.
