Actor Ajay Devgn’s Juhu bungalow in Mumbai has faced demolition action by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) over alleged unauthorised construction, with civic officials citing a lack of necessary permissions for interior alterations.
The action comes amid the box-office success of Devgn’s latest film, Drishyam 3: The Conclusion. The civic body reportedly moved against the property after work continued despite a stop-work notice issued in September 2026.
Why Did the BMC Take Action?
According to reports, the BMC issued a stop-work notice on September 10 under Section 354A of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888. The notice cited alleged unauthorised alterations, including partition walls, window modifications and other interior work.
Civic officials said the required permissions had not been granted for the proposed salon and spa or the interior alterations. The demolition reportedly took place after construction continued despite the notice.
The property, spread across approximately 7,802 square feet, is located in Kapole Co-operative Housing Society in Juhu.
Dispute Over Salon and Spa Plans
The bungalow became the centre of a dispute after plans emerged to convert the property for commercial use as a salon and spa. Reports said the property had been leased to Florian Hurel Salons Pvt Ltd for Rs 10.61 crore over five years, with monthly rent starting at Rs 16 lakh.
The housing society reportedly maintained that its no-objection certificate allowed the property to be leased but did not authorise commercial operations or structural changes. It also raised concerns about permissions, parking, traffic and safety.
The society approached the BMC in September, seeking verification of the approvals. Devgn’s side reportedly maintained that the necessary permissions had been obtained, although the civic body proceeded with enforcement action.
Ajay Devgn’s Team Yet to Respond
According to the reports, Ajay Devgn’s team had not responded to the latest demolition action. The BMC’s move follows scrutiny of the construction work and the dispute over the proposed commercial use of the bungalow.
