Thanks! I was looking for this. I cant believe it took them so long to respond when KR and Arnab and gang have feasted on them for three full months!

They were like sitting ducks. They better regroup their efforts because these attacks are now divorced from the SSR case and are just getting more and more ridiculous. Is everyone's PR sleeping?

So you're saying Bollywood is like any other industry in India. So why the hub bub? 😆

The financing in films just isn't what it was 20 years ago. So much of it is corporate, if not solely financed by corps then additionally through foreign and streaming deals etc. The criminal element of course exists - as you say it does in every enterprise - but it does not run the industry. The mafia is no longer shooting producers who don't hand over their profits.

Yeah, It's almost 85% corporate. Even home grown production houses have become boutique studios/film studios. Helps them attract more financers.

You’re comparing apples and pears. What proportion of Bollywood movies can be attributed to Netflix and Disney? What do you think changed so miraculously in 20 years that the mafia/gangsters disappeared completely? There are very few things done legally in India. That’s a fact. Even the most innocent are not spared. From shop owners to Navy officers. There’s always someone in the chain that needs bribing/some incentive to get your work done.

Almost every mainstream film is backed or co partnered by a corporate, not necessarily Netflix/Amazon. Pick up any film- big or small- from Bareilly Ki Barfi to a Dil Bechaara and you will have your answer.

If you think a 20th century Fox, a Viacom or Reliance Entertainment (the big daddy of our country) is going to wet its hands with the underworld, you would be very mistaken. These are not the days of Gulshan Kumar, Bharat Shah and Nadiadwala running Bollywood and starlets' lives like it's their backyard.

Sorry, but calling Bollywood "mafia" in today's age is just a fantasy propagated to show that it's anti India. It doesnt work that way-. And yes, I have read everything from Ajit Doval our RAW chief's public interviews about Dawood's weakened state to S Hussain Zaidi's amazing research on this regarding the anti terror force- you are absolutely right that underworld laundered its money in films going back to the time of Haji Mastan in the 70s- but it is just not a powerful enough force to do so anymore. This is well documented. Even if the small fry films are then instead of blind and defamatory insinuations, the authorities should go after their mark with evidence (like they have done in the case of Abu Salem/Monica Bedi etc) But it's still a pretty weak reason to boycott an entire industry which is made up of many, many ordinary law abiding citizens who love their jobs.

They are afraid. It's very very hard to fight against someone who is evil and delusional.

If anyone stands up, it would give her a specific target to attack and the online bot base would go into action. The bigger the star, the more commotion it would cause and Kangu would get free publicity for the next month playing the victim.

Hiding behind the Producer's Guild makes sense. It sounds boring and it's hard to sensationalize.

The average person/industry doesn’t mingle with mafia/gangsters/terrorists do they?🤔Disagree. It still exists, it’s just more sophisticated now. If the news portals are to be believed, SRK got threatening calls from Abu Salem post the release of Happy New Year. That movie was released in 2014😉and that’s the ones we actually hear about...

You're right, she'd love that. But they should internally atleast build a coordinated strategy because these attacks aint stopping any time soon- tomorrow anyone may be accused of being a drug peddler/terrorist/rapist- will they just let this feeding frenzy continue without a plan?

I mean DP/Kat/Salman etc usually have a PR plan ready for their sneezes even, and now that they're at code red they'll just sit this one out?

None of the Khans can say a word. They've been burned too many times and it would be the excuse to turn this into a Hindu-Muslim war. The BJP is just waiting for that.

Hrithik has no option but to keep quiet for obvious reasons. If Deepika says anything, it will be turned into a silly catfight between dumbo actresses. That's how the media will spin it. Priyanka doesn't live in India and has no future BW plans so she doesn't give a shit.

There's hardly anyone else.

The ONLY person who can take her on is Amitabh Bachchan. He is too old to hit back in a certain way. She barely said anything to Naseer. AB is LOVED by the oldies and even the political parties would be confused about who to attack and how. No religious issues would come up either.

But Amitabh has never ever in his entire life shown spine or grit or courage. It's not going to start now.

Anything that comes out of these people makes me laugh nowadays. They all are sh*t scared😆😆 i don't take them and their statements seriously at all.🤪 Their fake fame and reputation is trembling for the time being atleast and its evident.

Reputation for no less than their underworld connections, bullying, glorifying terrorists, casting couch, nepotism, hawala, child sex rackets,human trafficking,drugs, drunk driving, throwing people off the balcony etc etc

This is the kind of reputation LIBERAL bollywood has earned for themselves among the public. Conservatives are much worse though. You must be asking how? Well, they give threats on twitter to the liberal And pious bollywood despite doing so much charity work , that's how

I believe shifting to this came after 90s, Before 90s there were fewer incidents and underworld was not too powerful but now they have reached their peak that they are killing people openly. Ofcourse there are talented actors in bollywood who are there for their talent n craft n just want to act. But they are now being bullied in terms of getting work n have to lick these powers to survive in bollywood.

Best thing is, Poor BW people can't win😆

If they are quiet, they are hiding and cowards.. If they speak, they are rattled and trembling in fear.. Tou bechare karein kia😆
