A criminal complaint was filed against film maker Rajkumar Santoshi, by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation recently. It is alleged that Santoshi was using his residential bungalow in Versova as his office, as well. Earlier, the BMC had cleared the use of the bungalow as the office. However, residents of the area filed a case against him since he had constructed an illegal structure in the property.

The High court has directed the BMC to re-examine the case. Following the directive, the BMC registered a case under the Maharashtra Regional Town Planning Act. However, as of now, the film maker has been granted anticipatory bail.
