The Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation Limited (MMMOCL) has publicly addressed actor Varun Dhawan for his recent actions inside a Mumbai Metro coach. The authorities took to their official social media platform on Monday to highlight what they described as a violation of metro regulations.
Metro Authorities Issue Stern Warning
In a detailed post, MMMOCL specifically called out Dhawan for performing pull-ups using the grab handles inside a moving metro coach. The corporation emphasized that such behavior constitutes a punishable offense under the Metro Railways (Operations and Maintenance) Act of 2002.
The official statement read: "This video should have come with a disclaimer like the ones in your action movies, Varun Dhawan - Do Not Try This On Maha Mumbai Metro. We get it, it is cool to hang out with friends inside our metros, but those grab handles are not for hanging."
Legal Consequences Explained
The authorities clarified that acts causing nuisance or damage to property within metro premises can attract significant penalties. Depending on the severity of the offense, violators may face fines or even imprisonment as stipulated by the 2002 Metro Railways Act.
MMMOCL concluded their message with a clever play on words: "So folks, hang out, but don't hang in there. Travel responsibly on Maha Mumbai Metro."
Dhawan's Recent Career High
This incident comes amid significant professional success for Varun Dhawan, whose latest film 'Border 2' has been receiving overwhelming audience response. The actor recently expressed deep gratitude toward his fans and the film's creators through social media posts.
On his Instagram account, Dhawan shared a special moment featuring co-stars Ahan Shetty and Sunny Deol taking a selfie with hundreds of fans. The emotional scene showed supporters flashing lights from their phones, creating a memorable experience for the actors.
About 'Border 2'
The film, which released in theaters on January 23, represents what Dhawan considers a milestone in his career. Inspired by true events from the 1971 India-Pakistan War, 'Border 2' showcases the unified efforts of the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force working as a single formidable force.
The patriotic drama marks Sunny Deol's return to uniformed roles and features Ahan Shetty and Diljit Dosanjh in prominent lead positions. Dhawan has specifically thanked both the filmmakers for the opportunity and audiences for appreciating his portrayal of an Indian Army soldier.
While celebrating cinematic achievements, the Mumbai Metro incident serves as a reminder that public transportation systems require responsible behavior from all passengers, regardless of their celebrity status.
