The A-Ward office of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is considering blacklisting B62 Studios, owned by filmmaker Aditya Dhar, due to repeated safety norm violations during the filming of ‘Dhurandhar 2’ featuring Ranveer Singh. Violations included the unauthorized use of gas cylinders for cooking on set and changing shooting locations without proper permissions. The Mumbai Police had to intervene when burning torches were used in a high-security area during filming, leading to equipment confiscation.
The BMC has recommended banning the studio from shooting through the state’s filming portal after crew members reportedly used the terrace of a building without clearance and operated two generator vans without approval. The civic body has seized the production’s security deposit and proposed an additional fine, pending official blacklisting. Despite the violations, the film ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ starring Ranveer Singh, R. Madhavan, and others is set to release on March 19, focusing on a covert counter-terrorism mission in South Asia.
In ‘Dhurandhar 2,’ the storyline continues with Indian undercover agent Hamza Ali Mazhari infiltrating Pakistan’s underworld, facing off against ISI mastermind Major Iqbal. The narrative draws inspiration from real-life events like the IC-814 hijacking and the 2008 Mumbai attacks, exploring geopolitical tensions in the region.
