Aditya Dhar, known for his attention to detail, has crafted characters in Dhurandhar and its sequel based on real-life figures, albeit with some creative modifications. Jaskirat's friend from Punjab is reportedly inspired by Harwinder Singh Sandhu, also known as Rinda.
The Real Story of Pinda
Rinda, originally from Punjab, was labeled a terrorist by the Central Government due to his alleged involvement in terrorism. He hailed from Sarhali village in Tarn Taran district and spent years in Lahore, Pakistan, allegedly under the influence of cross-border agencies. He was reportedly associated with Babbar Khalsa International, a designated terrorist organization, and had connections with various terrorist groups in Pakistan. His criminal history includes serious offenses such as murder and extortion across multiple Indian states. In 2022, he was reported dead from a suspected drug overdose.
