A representative team for actor Ajay Devgn has issued a formal clarification following reports concerning regulatory action taken by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) against a property in Juhu, Mumbai. The statement comes in response to civic notices alleging that unauthorized construction had taken place on the premises. The property, which spans approximately 7,802 square feet, is located within the Kapol Co-operative Housing Society and is registered under the names of Ajay Devgn and his mother, Veena Devgn.
Addressing the nature of the property, the actor’s team emphasized that it should not be confused with his personal residence. In their statement, they clarified that the location in question is a separate unit that has been leased out to tenants. The representatives stated that they have formally engaged with the BMC regarding the matter, seeking the necessary permissions for the property. According to the statement, the team is currently in the process of duly complying with all applicable BMC rules, regulations, and guidelines to ensure the property remains in accordance with municipal standards.
The administrative conflict originated on September 10, 2026, when the BMC’s K/West ward issued a notice under Section 354A of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act. The notice alleged that various unauthorized additions and alterations had been executed on the site, prompting the civic body to demand an immediate cessation of all construction work. The owners were given a 24-hour window to produce valid documentation and requisite permissions from the competent authority to justify the changes made to the structure.
Following the initial notice, the owners submitted a reply to the municipal authorities; however, this response was ultimately rejected. In a speaking order issued on October 6, the designated officer stated that the owners failed to provide sufficient evidence or official documentation to prove that the construction was legal. Consequently, the civic body maintained its stance, classifying the work as unauthorized and issuing an order for its immediate removal, noting that any further construction proceeded at the owners' own risk and cost.
In response to these developments, the actor's team reiterated that the essential modifications, alterations, and structural changes requested by the civic body have since been carried out. They maintain that the current status of the property is compliant with the requirements set forth by the municipal authorities. The situation remains a point of regulatory oversight as the owners work to resolve the administrative objections raised by the K/West ward office.
Amidst these ongoing legal and administrative matters, Ajay Devgn has continued his professional commitments in the film industry. The actor is currently marking the success of 'Drishyam 3', the latest installment in his thriller film franchise. According to reported figures, the film has achieved a domestic net collection of Rs 336.55 crore within its first 16 days of release, with worldwide gross earnings surpassing Rs 500 crore. The film also marked a significant milestone as the biggest opening of his career.
Looking ahead, the actor’s project pipeline remains extensive. He is slated to appear in Rohit Shetty’s upcoming film 'Golmaal 5'. Additionally, he is involved in the action-adventure project 'Ranger', which is directed by Jagan Shakti and co-produced by his own production house alongside Luv Ranjan, Ankur Garg, and Anand Pandit. The film will feature Sanjay Dutt in the role of the antagonist. His future slate also includes the project 'Chauhaan', directed by Neeraj Yadav, as he balances these professional ventures alongside the ongoing regulatory discussions regarding his property portfolio.
