Jalna/Chandigarh | November 9, 2026: Sunny Deol’s upcoming film Suryaa: Ant Se Aarambh Tak has drawn objections from medical associations over alleged scenes of assault on doctors and hospital staff and depictions of commissions, unnecessary tests and corruption.
CBFC assurance before Punjab and Haryana High Court
The Private Hospitals and Nursing Home Association (PHANA), Punjab, petitioned the High Court to have the promotional material examined. Before Justice Tribhuvan Dahiya, the Central Board of Film Certification assured that the association’s representations would be considered according to law before a final certification decision. The court disposed of the petition without further directions; it did not ban the film.
Medical fraternity’s concerns
Medical bodies, including the Haryana Indian Medical Association, fear that broad depictions of corruption and attacks on healthcare workers could deepen public mistrust and endanger staff. Exposing malpractice is important, but alleged wrongdoing by individuals should not automatically implicate an entire profession.
Adv. Mahesh Dhannawat supports doctors
Proposed statement for publication: “Doctors are lifesavers. Medical malpractice must be investigated and punished according to law, but an entire profession should not be branded corrupt, nor should violence against healthcare workers be glorified. Patients deserve justice and doctors deserve dignity and protection.”
Popular cinema influences public attitudes. Artistic freedom should be balanced with social responsibility, while both patient rights and healthcare worker safety deserve protection. Violence is no substitute for legal remedies.
The film is scheduled for release on November 20, 2026.
