The ‘Dhurandhar 2’ production has ignited a firestorm in Mumbai’s cine world. All India Cine Workers Association leaders have fiercely criticized the safety failures, endorsing BMC’s crackdown on director Aditya Dhar and B62 Studios.
Calling for airtight safety compliance and prosecutions, the association highlights the human cost of corner-cutting. ‘No compromises on workers’ lives, security, or honor. Law reigns supreme over any production,’ stated president Suresh Shyamlal Gupta.
He advocated for ongoing site audits and zero tolerance for slip-ups, reaffirming solidarity with the workforce. The group won’t relent until protections are bulletproof across the board.
Specific lapses on set involved high-risk torches in secure zones, permit-less relocations, and illicit equipment use—echoing chronic industry problems. Past horrors at Film City and beyond, from blazes to structural failures, have killed and crippled many.
Repeated appeals to the CM and BMC for vigilant oversight have been ignored too often, emboldening violators. In a city buzzing with constant shoots, safety is routinely sacrificed.
BMC’s push to blacklist B62 and levy penalties is celebrated as a game-changer. This bold stance could finally deter recklessness, fostering a safer era for Bollywood’s unsung heroes.
