- Chaudhry Aslam's wife praised Sanjay Dutt's portrayal of her husband in Dhurandhar films
- Naureen Aslam felt the film did not fully capture the depth of Chaudhry Aslam's personality
- She noted the film's foul language reflects the reality of police environments
Pakistani police officer Chaudhry Aslam's portrayal in Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar 2 has received a strong response from audiences, and now his family has also weighed in. Actor Sanjay Dutt, who essays the role in Aditya Dhar's spy thriller, has been praised by Aslam's wife, Naureen Aslam.
What's Happening
- Speaking on a podcast with AajTak Radio, Naureen said Dutt was well-suited for the role and managed to capture her husband's presence on screen.
- "When he stands near the car and raises his eyes, for a moment it felt like Aslam himself," she said.
- She also shared that Chaudhry Aslam had once expressed that a film would be made about his life after his death.
- However, Naureen added that she felt the film did not fully capture the depth of his personality.
- "If they were making a film, they could have at least called me, the police, or journalists to understand both his positive and negative sides. He fulfilled tasks that the rest of the police never could," she said.
- She clarified that she has only seen parts of the film through clips so far.
- Commenting on the use of foul language in the film, she noted that while it may not suit a family audience, it reflects the reality of police environments.
