As per a report, the makers have been blacklisted from seeking permission to shoot in Mumbai as BMC has alleged repeated violations
In an industry where sequels typically arrive years later—diluted, disconnected, and chasing the ghost of the original—Dhurandhar 2 wishes to go beyond and attempts to make a difference with its craft. The cliffhanger isn’t pretentious or provocative but poignant.
Ranveer Singh, the chameleon he is, allows the other actors in the ensemble to take centre stage and morph with others in the background. And for those yearning for his presence will get to see the whole of the mammoth iceberg when the second part blazes the celluloid on March 19 this year.
Major controversy for
Dhurandhar 2
As per a report, the makers have been blacklisted from seeking permission to shoot in Mumbai as BMC has alleged repeated violations.
BMC official issues statement
An official was quoted saying to The Indian Express, “Having received the clearances, the three applicants – Komal Pokhriyal, Nasir Khan and B62 production house – can no longer apply for shoot permissions with the Maharashtra Film, Stage and Cultural Development CL website.”
He added, “On Tuesday, we will also be issuing notices to this three applicants informing of the action, and a copy of the notice will also be shared with the Maharashtra film cell and BMC’s Business Cell head.”
In a letter to the Deputy Municipal Commissioner (DMC) of Zone 1, the civic body on Monday also sought a penalty of Rs 1 lakh for filming on a building terrace and for using two generator vans without adequate permissions.
_Dhurandhar Part 1 and Part 2_ were shot back-to-back. As one continuous production. Same cast, same crew, same creative momentum. Then split for release. It’s the first time a big-budget, mainstream Hindi film has attempted this at scale. And if it works the way we believe it will, it could reshape how Bollywood thinks about franchises entirely.
Dhurandhar is different. This is Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal—major stars, major budget, major theatrical ambition. That’s not indie-daring. That’s studio-scale conviction. Shooting two films simultaneously means doubling down on budget, resources, and exposure. If Part 1 failed, Part 2 still exists—already made, already expensive.
