In a surprising turn of events, the production team behind the much-talked-about film ‘Dhruvandar’ featuring Ranveer Singh is facing potential blacklisting from shooting in Mumbai. This news comes just as the film, which had a successful theatrical release two months ago, has made waves on OTT platforms and is set to release its sequel in the coming month.
The film, directed by Aditya Dhar and produced in collaboration with Jio Studios, has now found itself in hot water due to multiple violations of local filming regulations. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has proposed to the state government that B62 Studios, the production company owned by Dhar, be prohibited from shooting in Mumbai due to these infractions.
The latest controversy unfolded when drones were reportedly flown during a shoot in the historic port area of Mumbai, leading to a case being filed against a manager associated with the production team. Furthermore, during recent shooting schedules across various streets in the city, the use of firecrackers and flammable materials was observed, which has been deemed a significant violation of the conditions set by local authorities.
The BMC has taken a firm stance on what it perceives as a pattern of disregard for filming rules. In addition to the potential blacklisting, the authorities have slapped a fine of one lakh rupees on B62 Studios for shooting without the necessary permissions and for illegally using generators. The security deposit for the production has also been revoked as part of the penalties imposed.
This situation raises questions about the future of Aditya Dhar’s production company and its ability to operate within Mumbai’s vibrant film industry. As the situation develops, many are left wondering how the production team will respond to these serious allegations and what measures they will take to rectify their standing with local authorities.
With the sequel to ‘Dhruvandar’ on the horizon, fans and industry insiders alike are eager to see how the unfolding drama will impact the film’s release and the reputation of its creators. The production team’s next steps will be closely monitored as they navigate this challenging predicament, reflecting the ever-evolving landscape of the film industry and the importance of adhering to regulations.
