Aditya Dhar breaks silence on backlash for Dhurandhar’s AI photo
Aditya Dhar took to social media and issued a strong statement after a complaint was filed against him. The complaint mentioned that Ranveer Singh was seen smoking while wearing a specific headgear, which hurt the sentiments of a social group. Sharing his stand on the matter, the filmmaker mentioned that he is aware that “certain individuals are circulating manipulated visuals, by morphing officially released promotional material using artificial intelligence to create false and misleading narratives.”
Dhurandhar The Revenge helmer further highlighted that the fabricated image falsely depicts the character Hamza/Jaskirat in a hurtful manner. “This is completely untrue and does not form part of the film or any official material released by us. It is a deliberate act of misrepresentation intended to provoke and create mischief,” Aditya opined.
In the note, he underscored his respect for the said group, adding that the film has been handled with utmost sensitivity, dignity, and responsibility. Hence, any attempt to suggest otherwise through any doctored content is malicious and dishonest.
Concluding his statement, the ace director urged the audiences to “rely only on official content and watch the film as it is intended, and not fall prey to AI-generated misinformation being circulated with ulterior motives. Such acts will be dealt with firmly.”
