Dhurandhar Production Designer Saini S Johray Removed From Film Credits After POSH Investigation

A major controversy has emerged around the upcoming film Dhurandhar after reports surfaced regarding workplace misconduct allegations against production designer Saini S Johray. According to reports, a formal complaint was filed with B62 Studios in late 2025 alleging sexual harassment at the workplace.

Following the complaint, the production company reportedly initiated an internal inquiry under the Prevention of Sexual Harassment guidelines commonly referred to as POSH regulations. Sources indicate that the investigation was conducted through the company’s Internal Complaints Committee in accordance with workplace safety procedures.

Reports further state that the inquiry found Saini S Johray guilty of misconduct after examining statements and evidence presented during the investigation process. Following the findings, B62 Studios reportedly decided to remove his name from the official credits of the film.

The development has attracted significant attention within the Indian film industry, particularly because Dhurandhar is considered one of the major upcoming projects in Hindi cinema. The film features Ranveer Singh in the lead role and is directed by Aditya Dhar. Producer Lokesh Dhar is also associated with the project through B62 Studios.

The film industry in recent years has seen increasing discussions around workplace safety, employee protection and accountability. Production houses and entertainment companies have been strengthening internal policies related to harassment complaints and employee conduct. Industry experts believe such investigations are important in maintaining professional standards and ensuring safer work environments.

Neither the production house nor Saini S Johray has reportedly issued a detailed public statement regarding the findings of the investigation at the time of publication. However, sources familiar with the matter stated that the company acted after completing its internal review process.

POSH regulations in India were introduced to ensure safe workplaces and provide employees with a formal system to report harassment related complaints. Organizations across sectors, including the entertainment industry, are required to maintain Internal Complaints Committees to handle such issues confidentially and fairly.

The incident has once again sparked conversations about accountability and workplace culture within the film industry. Social media users and industry observers have expressed mixed reactions, with many emphasizing the importance of transparent investigations and protection for complainants.

Meanwhile, work on Dhurandhar is reportedly continuing as scheduled. The film remains one of the anticipated projects featuring Ranveer Singh, and audiences are awaiting further official updates regarding its release and promotional activities.
