There may be a muslim mafia active in the bollywood since beginning though, that part several people have debated. Using terror and extortion, the tactics usually employed by modern day jehadis.
You picked only muslims or those with muslim parents. Don’t turn it around on me lol! The mafia was involved with everyone when their money was being used. Wasn’t Gulshan Kumar shot by gangs?
Ya so when India became more secular and progressive and forward, the heroes did not need to change names! I found that to be pretty damn amazing! It showed Indians were cool! It’s sad to see people wiping out the hard work of these people with a ‘oh they have no stardom, it’s all because of D-company’! Please! There is probably more truth to nepotism being a reason for their stardom than distributor conspiracy theory! There is more truth to them using their star power & muscle men to hold on to their stardom than this communal angle people are trying to give.
PS: Muslim actresses were big back in the day.
