The widow of Chaudhary Aslam, a Pakistani police officer who became famous as an encounter specialist and for his bravery against terror and criminal gangs in Karachi, has threatened to take legal action if her husband is falsely and negatively portrayed in the upcoming Bollywood film Dhurandhar.

Headlined by Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar, the movie is a high-stakes espionage thriller. 

The film’s official trailer, which was released earlier



this month, offers a glimpse into a story set in Karachi’s notorious Lyari neighbourhood, once dominated by two rival criminal gangs.

In the movie, veteran star Sanjay Dutt portrays Chaudhary Aslam. The police officer was assassinated by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Taliban’s Mohmand chapter, who claimed responsibility for carrying out a bomb attack on his car on the Lyari Expressway on January 9, 2014, in which two other police officers, his driver, and guard were also killed.
