30 March,2026 07:31 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentAditya Dhar's Dhurandhar narrates the tale of an Indian spy operating in Pakistan's Lyari town. Played by the talented Ranveer Singh, the film has been breaking records at the box office. Amid the resounding success of the film, author Harinder Sikka has expressed regret over the cinematic adaptation of his 2008 espionage novel Calling Sehmat, which inspired the 2018 film Raazi starring Alia Bhatt and directed by Meghna Gulzar. While stressing on the impact of his book, he said that appointing Meghna Gulzar for the film was a grave 'misjudgement'. Calling Sehmat on Raazi and Meghna's approach On Sunday, Sikka took to X, where he shared a picture of a stack of books such as An Indian Spy In Pakistan, Plot, Lies & Deceit Pulwama & Balakot, Terrorism and Insurgency, Calling Sehmat, Mission Overseas, The Unending Game and The Spy Chronicles. Along with the picture of stacked books were the text: 'Dhurandhar 2 gave you a cinematic glimpse. Here’s where the real story begins.' Sikka said the book continues to rank among the most impactful espionage works globally, adding that it sheds light on cross-border tensions, hostile elements within the film industry, and criminal networks rooted in Punjab. “Calling Sehmat Raazi ranks among the top books on espionage ever written, globally. It exposes Pakistan across border, hostile forces in Bollywood and a Punjab-based criminals within,” he wrote on X, formerly called Twitter. However, he further claimed that Meghna Gulzar's ideological bias hampered the protagonist's story in the film. He said that he did not anticipate how ideological bias would dilute the protagonist’s true spirit on screen. He wrote in his note, “Appointing Meghna Gulzar was my gravest misjudgment. Despite clear warnings, I failed to foresee how ideological bias would end up diminishing the true spirit of the protagonist". Reflecting on the journey of Calling Sehmat, Sikka noted that nearly two decades since its release, the book continues to resonate with readers worldwide and remains among bestsellers. “Nearly two decades later, the book continues to leave its mark across the world. Penguin best sellers; Vichhoda, Gobind, The Chabimaster are being scripted, for our beautiful nation deserves to see the complete truth,” added Sikka.
