'Dhurandhar: The Revenge': BMC Blacklists Aditya Dhar's Production House Due To Repeated Violations on Set

Filmmaker Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar 2 is already making noise, despite being a month away from its official release. According to reports, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials flagged "repeated violations" of safety terms and conditions on the film set, following which it has blacklisted Dhar's production house, B62 Studios, from seeking permission to shoot in Mumbai.

Titled Dhurandhar: The Revenge, the sequel to the 2025 blockbuster Dhurandhar is being headlined by actor Ranveer Singh. According to an Indian Express report, the BMC's A ward office also called for a penalty of ₹ 1 lakh for filming on the terrace of a building and for using two generator vans without adequate permissions.

The report claimed that the Deputy Municipal Commissioner (DMC) Zone I cleared permissions sought by the civic body to "permanently blacklist B62 Studios" and two of its other applicants from submitting applications for filming permissions.

"Having received the clearances, the three applicants – Komal Pokhriyal, Nasir Khan and B62 production house – can no longer apply for shoot permissions with the Maharashtra Film, Stage and Cultural Development CL website. On Tuesday, we will also be issuing notices to this three applicants informing of the action, and a copy of the notice will also be shared with the Maharashtra film cell and BMC’s Business Cell head,” a BMC official told the publication..

The makers had sought permission to shoot portions of Dhurandhar 2 on February 7 and 8 on Modi Street and Perin Nariman Street. Officials claimed that the film set "completely violated" the police department’s terms and conditions, which prohibited the use of crackers and flammable materials, the report stated.

The officials forfeited the deposits and issued a warning of blacklisting. When fresh applications were placed to shoot between 12.30 am and 4 am on February 14, officials said the applicant assured that no flammable materials would be used during the shooting, following which permissions were granted.

Thereafter, officials said the Maharashtra Film, Stage and Cultural Development Corporation Limited received yet another application from one Komal Pokhriyal for filming between February 13 and February 14. Despite the assurance, the Mumbai police received complaints of the use of flammable materials like lit torches around 12.45 am during the course of the shooting. When the cops arrived at the location, they seized the five torches.
