The first look of Dhurandhar was released on Sunday, and in no time, it sent fans into a frenzy. Courtesy of Ranveer Singh's raw look, Akshaye Khanna's presence, and most importantly, R Madhavan's resemblance to real-life India's top spy, Dhurandhar, has turned out to be the most awaited Bollywood movie of the year. Slated to be released on December 5, 2025, Dhurandhar is written, directed, and produced by Aditya Dhar. For those who are unaware, Aditya made the superhit movie Uri: The Surgical Strike. 

Notably, Dhurandhar's Trailer mentions that the upcoming film is inspired by a true story. Hence, the question arises: What is the inspiration behind Dhurandhar True Story or Dhurandhar Real Story? Furthermore, another question arises whether R Madhavan's character is based on India's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval or not? Continue reading below to know the answer- 

Is R Madhavan's character based on NSA Ajit Doval?

R Madhavan's character's look has an uncanny resemblance to India's National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval. Hence, Dhurandhar may be based on the life of Indian super spy and National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval. However, the makers are yet to make it official.

Furthermore, since it was only the first look of Dhurandhar, no dialogues were added. Only action-packed sequence with a rap-like song in the background. Hence, it is difficult to ascertain what real-life case Dhurandhar is based on. 

Dhurandhar True Story

Notably, the official synopsis of Ranveer Singh's upcoming movie gives you a hint. It reads, "Uncover the story of unknown men and their unstoppable fight!" Interestingly, in the past few years, Pakistan has accused India of carrying out assassinations by using 'unknown men'. Multiple terrorists who are most wanted in India have been shot down by unknown men. The killing of India's Most Wanted Terrorists in Pakistan has amped up with Ajit Doval serving as India's NSA.  Hence, the movie may talk about India's alleged role in neutralising its threats from Pakistan. 

Talking about who plays what in Dhurandhar, the movie features Ranveer Singh as a RAW undercover agent, R. Madhavan, most probably as Ajit Doval, and Akshaye Khanna in a negative character. The movie also features Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun.
