- Production used lit torches in a high-security zone causing Mumbai Police intervention
- Filming occurred at unpermitted locations including a building terrace without approvals
BMC's A-ward office has recommended blacklisting Aditya Dhar's B62 Studios due to repeated safety and regulatory violations during the filming of Dhurandhar 2.
The production team used lit torches (mashals) on set in a high-security zone, which led to Mumbai Police intervention and the seizure of the equipment.

Crew members reportedly changed filming locations and used a building terrace without obtaining the necessary permits from the civic body.
The studio operated two generator vans on-site without valid approvals from the local authorities.
A formal letter has been sent to the Deputy Municipal Commissioner (DMC) proposing a permanent ban on the studio from using the state's single-window filming portal.
The BMC has already forfeited the production's Rs 25,000 security deposit and proposed an additional fine of Rs 1 lakh.
While the studio has not been officially blacklisted yet, the proposal has reportedly been cleared for further action.
Earlier. Mumbai Police have registered a case against the location manager of the film.

In this case, an FIR was filed on February 1 at the MRA Marg Police Station against Rinku Rajpal Valmiki under Section 223 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
