Doctors’ association asks India to review Sunny Deol film’s promotional content
The Indian Medical Association has asked India’s information and broadcasting minister to review promotional content for Sunny Deol’s upcoming film, *Suryaa – Ant Se Aarambh Tak*.
The association says the material may unfairly suggest corruption is widespread among doctors, even though wrongdoing by individuals should be investigated.
It also objects to scenes showing attacks on doctors and hospital staff as heroic or justified.
The IMA warns that such portrayals could put healthcare workers at greater risk and weaken trust between patients and doctors.
In the film, Deol plays a police officer who investigates alleged malpractice after his daughter dies.
The association says it respects creative freedom but believes it should be exercised responsibly when healthcare and public confidence are involved.
It has requested an impartial review and appropriate changes if concerns are upheld; no decision or response from the ministry is stated.

What people are saying
We wish to express our serious concern regarding the portrayal of the medical profession in the film ‘Suryaa – Ant Se Aarambh Tak.’
Scenes depicting physical assaults on doctors, nursing staff, and hospital personnel, particularly when presented as heroic or justified acts, risk normalising violence against those committed to saving lives.
