Mumbai Metro authorities warned Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan for performing pull-ups inside a metro coach. The stunt came after the success of his film Border 2.
The Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation Limited (MMMOCL) posted on X, calling the act “punishable under sections relating to causing nuisance and/or damage to property” in the Metro Railways (Operations and Maintenance) Act, 2002.
“This video should have come with a disclaimer, Varun Dhawan—Do Not Try This on Maha Mumbai Metro,” the post said. Authorities added, “Grab handles are not for hanging. Acts like these can attract penalties or imprisonment. Travel responsibly.”
Varun Dhawan recently thanked fans for their response to Border 2, which released on January 23. He shared pictures on Instagram with co-stars Ahan Shetty and Sunny Deol, capturing moments with fans flashing lights from their phones.
Border 2 is based on the 1971 India-Pakistan War. The film shows the Army, Navy, and Air Force working together. Sunny Deol returns in uniform, while Ahan Shetty and Diljit Dosanjh play lead roles.
Authorities and fans have reminded the public that metro safety is important. While Dhawan’s stunt was playful, it posed risks. MMMOCL emphasized that such actions are unsafe and legally punishable.
