The petitioner argued that the film’s political themes could influence voter sentiment, especially with Tamil Nadu heading to the polls in a month. Advocate Sheela, who raised the issue, highlighted that the Model Code of Conduct is already in force following the Election Commission of India’s announcement on March 15, with voting scheduled for April 23, 2026.

She urged the court to restrain the screening of Dhurandhar The Revenge in the state until the completion of polling, stating that its exhibition could resume afterwards. The concern, as presented, centres on the possibility of the film impacting public opinion during a sensitive electoral period.

The bench, however, directed the petitioner to formally file a writ petition and seek an urgent hearing, making it clear that any decision on halting the film’s release would only come after due legal process.
