Strict BMC on Dhurandhar 2, Demand to Blacklist Aditya Dhar's Studio

The BMC is demanding to blacklist Aditya Dhar's production company over safety violations during the filming of 'Dhurandhar 2', which is set to release on March 19.

The upcoming release of 'Dhurandhar 2', starring Ranveer Singh, is already embroiled in controversy ahead of its March 19 premiere. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has raised issues with the film’s production team, alleging multiple breaches of safety regulations during the shooting process. Specific accusations include using gas for cooking on set and filming in unauthorized areas, prompting BMC officials to take formal action against the production house.

Following several complaints about the production company, the BMC's A-ward office has formally requested the Deputy Municipal Commissioner to blacklist B62 Studios, the company owned by director Aditya Dhar. Reports suggest that during filming, safety violations were evident, such as using flammable torches in a high-security zone, which led to an intervention by the Mumbai police. The police confiscated equipment due to these serious safety lapses, highlighting the risks posed by these actions.

This controversy not only puts the film's release at risk but also pressures filmmakers to adhere strictly to safety protocols while filming in urban settings. The BMC's stance serves as a reminder of the strict regulations governing film production in Mumbai, and the implications of violating these rules could affect not just the current project but possibly future endeavors by the production company concerned, potentially impacting their reputation and operations within the industry.
