BMC Blacklists Aditya Dhar’s Production House Over Violations

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has moved to blacklist B62 Productions, the company owned by filmmaker Aditya Dhar, due to multiple violations observed during the shooting of 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' in Mumbai. This action follows concerns raised by a local resident about the use of fire torches on set, which prompted immediate attention from the authorities.

Reportedly, the BMC received complaints regarding safety violations, specifically about fire torches being used during the filming. In response, BMC officials verbally warned the crew on-site to refrain from using fire torches until the shoot’s conclusion. Subsequently, local police intervened, seizing five of these devices from the filming location.

In the wake of the incidents, the BMC's A-ward maintenance staff drafted a proposal note to the Deputy Municipal Commissioner (Zone 1) proposing that B62 Productions be blacklisted. The note included a recommendation for a financial penalty of ₹1 lakh (approximately £1,000) for the infractions committed.

This decision to blacklist the production house means it will not be able to utilise the Maharashtra Film City online application facility moving forward.

Aditya Dhar’s upcoming film, 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge', is scheduled for release on March 19, 2026. The film serves as a follow-up to the successful original, 'Dhurandhar', which premiered on December 5, 2025, achieving considerable box-office success.

Featuring a star-studded cast that includes actors Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Danish Pandor, and Sara Arjun, the film is highly anticipated by audiences and industry insiders alike. The production company's recent issues, however, could cast a shadow over the promotional efforts ahead of the film's release.
