Controversy Clouds 'Toxic' & 'Dhurandhar 2' Release
19 Feb
Summary
- Dhurandhar 2 faces blacklisting over safety violations.
- Toxic is accused of hurting Christian religious sentiments.
- Both films slated for release in a month's time.
The release of Yash starrer Toxic and Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2, both slated for next month, is anticipated to be a major box office event. However, both productions are currently facing significant controversies.
Dhurandhar 2's production house, B62 Studios, is under fire from Mumbai's municipal body for alleged safety violations on set, including unauthorized filming and permit issues. The studio's security deposit has been forfeited, and a fine is proposed.
Concurrently, Toxic has been hit with a complaint by the National Christian Federation, which claims certain scenes are offensive and disrespectful to Christian beliefs, particularly concerning depictions of Saint Michael the Archangel.
Both films have yet to commence promotional activities, with their teasers receiving lukewarm reception. The controversies add an unexpected layer of drama ahead of their highly anticipated releases.
