The sequel, which is being currently shot in an around Mumbai will see the return of Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Danish Pandor, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi.

The BMC has sought a permanent blacklisting of Aditya Dhar's B62 Studios for breaching regulations during the filming of Dhurandhar 2 in South Mumbai.

BMC has claimed that Dhurandhar 2 was shot on a building terrace and used two generator vans without taking necessary permissions.

What is the issue raised by BMC ? 

BMC has also sent a letter to the Deputy Municipal Commissioner (DMC) of Zone 1, the A ward office, demanding a fine of Rs 1 lakh from the production house.

And in their letter, BMC has sought a complete ban on B62 Studios from seeking future permits for filming. Additionally, it also said that the Rs 25,000 security deposit submitted by the production house has been forfeited.

According to Times Now, the DMC had approved the request by BMC regarding the blacklisting.

And also two other applicants have been barred from submitting requests for permissions with the Maharashtra Film, Stage and Cultural Development Corporation Limited.

A BMC representative told Indian Express, "Having received the clearances, the three applicants – Komal Pokhriyal, Nasir Khan, and B62 production house – can no longer apply for shooting permissions with the Maharashtra Film, Stage and Cultural Development CL website. On Tuesday, we will also be issuing notices to these three applicants to inform them of the actions taken, and a copy of the notice will also be shared with the Maharashtra film cell and the head of BMC’s Business Cell."

What went wrong ? 

The report further states that Dhurandhar team was granted permission on February 7-8 to shoot between Modi Street and Perin Nariman Street in A ward in Mumbai.

However, the production team violated the police regulations during the shoot, which prohibited the use of firecrackers.

The team was issued an early warning on that day and a second request was made for filming between February 13 and 14.

According to BMC, despite assurances that the shoot will continue without the use of any flammable materials, police received complaints post midnight on February 14 about torches being ignited during the film's shoot.

The authorities reached at the scene within 15 minutes and confiscated five torches. The film's unit had assured the officials that they would be using VFX in the movie to create fire visuals.

But after repeated failure on the behalf of production house, the BMC then sent a letter to the DMC and sought approval to impose fines and formally document the seized items and permanently blacklist the applicants from future permissions through the state film corporation website.
