The widow of Pakistan's celebrated police officer Chaudhary Aslam is threatening legal action over the forthcoming Bollywood film "Dhurandhar." The movie, starring Ranveer Singh, presents Aslam's story, known for his courageous stance against Karachi's dangerous gangs.

Portrayed by veteran actor Sanjay Dutt, Aslam was assassinated in a bomb attack for which the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility. His widow, Naureen Aslam, awaits the film's release to ensure her husband's life is depicted accurately, criticizing a trailer dialogue she deems disrespectful.

Naureen Aslam criticized Indian filmmakers for vilifying Pakistani figures and expressed her readiness to defend her husband's legacy legally. The film, an espionage thriller, highlights intense gang rivalry with major Indian stars adding commercial appeal.
