For those unaware, Major Mohit Sharma passed away in 2009 and was posthumously honoured with the Ashok Chakra. Previously, in a conversation on Lt Cdr Bijay Nair’s YouTube channel, Madhur Sharma recounted his brother’s time undercover as Iftikhar. He recalled the day of a pivotal operation, saying: “He had made kahwa for them (the terrorists) that morning. And he insisted that they take him along. They said that since he was quite new, they didn’t trust him enough. After listening to this, Mohit, as I am told, handed them one of their own AK-47 weapons and said that if you don’t trust me after two weeks, shoot me. He said I have given you all the plans of the army, and if you don’t trust me even now, then shoot and get it over with.”

Madhur explained that Mohit’s bold move gained the terrorists’ confidence. “That’s when he picked up the pistol from the table and he made two shots, that’s what I have been told. He made two shots and point-blank, killed both these guys and then he sat there and he finished the kahwa,” Madhur said. “After Mohit had his kahwa, he called his company and announced, ‘Boss aa jao, kaam ho gaya hai.’”

Dhurandhar is slated to release on December 5 and features a star-studded ensemble cast, including Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal, alongside Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi in supporting roles.
