FIR filed against Dhurandhar 2 location manager for unauthorised drone use

Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar 2 is among the most talked-about and highly anticipated films of 2026. Amid the growing buzz, leaked images from the sets of Dhurandhar: The Revenge recently went viral on social media. The pictures featured Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal shooting in South Mumbai’s Ballard Estate, which had been transformed into Karachi’s Lyari locality, where a key portion of the film is set. However, the shoot was halted two days ago following police intervention.

Dhurandhar 2 lands in trouble

According to a report by Mumbai Mirror, the Mumbai Police took action after the film’s crew allegedly flew a drone in the area without proper authorisation. A First Information Report (FIR) was filed against location manager Rinku Rajpal Valmiki under Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for “knowingly disobeying lawful orders from officials.” The FIR stated that drones were used without the required permissions.

As per the report, on February 1, Sanjay Dutt arrived on set to shoot a crucial sequence for Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The actor, who plays SP Choudhary in the film, was seen dressed in a Pathani suit and holding a gun, with the drone intended to capture his dramatic walk. However, police officials arrived on set and ordered the shoot to be halted after discovering that the drone was being operated without permission in a high-security area.

Zonal DCP Pravin Mundhe reportedly confirmed the incident and stated that the location manager was taken into custody. Police sources told the tabloid that while the line producers had secured permission from the Maharashtra Film, Stage and Cultural Development Corporation Limited for the shoot, they failed to obtain clearance for drone usage.

The tabloid also quoted a local resident who claimed that the Dhurandhar 2 team had blocked two parallel roads—Fort-Nariman Street and Modi Street—on January 30, 31, and February 1 for the shoot.

Dhurandhar 2 streaming rights

Recently, the makers unveiled a new poster announcing the sequel’s title as Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The striking visual teased the next chapter of the high-octane franchise.

Ranveer Singh shared the poster on Instagram, featuring deep, ominous red tones that set a dark and intense mood. The actor is seen soaked in rain, staring ahead with a fierce, unflinching expression. Behind him, carved into a blood-red wall, looms the title The Revenge, dominating the frame like a warning. The release date—19.03.26—is prominently displayed at the top.

Notably, the poster carries the logos of Star Gold and JioHotstar, indicating that the satellite and OTT rights for Dhurandhar 2 have been sold to the respective platforms. The first instalment is currently streaming on Netflix.

Dhurandhar 2 resumes with Hamza Ali Mazhari, an Indian undercover agent who has successfully infiltrated Pakistan’s underworld. After eliminating Rehman Dakait, Hamza rises through the ranks of power, only to confront his most formidable adversary yet—Major Iqbal, the ISI mastermind known as Bade Sahab.
