# Delhi HC seeks CBFC, Centre response on Sunny Deol film Suryaa 2026-11-02T19:01:28+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets The Delhi High Court on 2 November issued notices to the Central Board of Film Certification, the Centre and the producers of Sunny Deol's upcoming film Suryaa: Ant Se Aarambh Tak after a group of doctors petitioned against its teaser. The doctors allege the teaser portrays private hospital doctors in a negative light and could encourage hostility towards healthcare workers. Justice Amit Mahajan sought responses from the ministries of information and broadcasting and electronics and information technology, producer M M Moviez and Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. The court did not pass an interim order and will hear the matter next on 16 November. The petition was filed by four Delhi-based doctors, Dr Nishant Soni, Dr Ashish Tomar, Dr Ravi Bhatia and Dr Shivam Vatsal, along with office bearers of Doctors of Corporate Society. They argue the teaser, which claims to be 'inspired by unbelievable true events', could mislead audiences into believing its fictional story is real, deepening mistrust of doctors. They have asked for the teaser to be taken down and for a disclaimer stating the film is fictional. The Indian Medical Association had earlier written to Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw seeking a review of the film. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All three sources report the same facts: the Delhi HC issued notices on 2 November, the doctors' objections to the teaser's portrayal of private hospitals, and the next hearing on 16 November. Hindustan Times and Times Now present the story as a straightforward legal development with the doctors' concerns fully quoted, a neutral-report stance. Cinema Express focuses on the specific allegations in the petition, that the teaser shows doctors charging Rs 5 lakh and writing 'commission' on prescriptions, and quotes a line from the teaser urging viewers to 'catch them', giving the story a slightly more sensationalist framing by highlighting the most provocative content. The core legal and medical-profession concerns are uniformly covered across all outlets. ## Coverage Coverage: 3 sources, 2 neutral, 1 sensationalist - hindustantimes.com (neutral report) Straight news report with doctors' allegations and court action. - timesnownews.com (neutral report) Straightforward reporting of court notice and petition details. - cinemaexpress.com (sensationalist) Leads with specific monetary and violent imagery from the teaser.
