An old video of Shah Rukh Khan is making the rounds again and in it he talks about how the Bollywood film industry used to be targeted by organized crime. He says the industry was so big that it attracted the mafia who wanted to get involved with making movies using their money. This happened sometime ago when the film industry in Mumbai was more open to this kind of influence.
Khan mentions that the large amount of movies being made was a big reason why the mafia was interested. They saw a chance to control things by funding projects and maybe other ways too. He’s saying the industry was really exposed to exploitation during that time which made things tough for those working in Bollywood.
This old video has brought up new conversations about how organized crime used to have influence and makes people think about the pressure and dangers people in the film industry faced back then. The video doesn’t get into all the details but it’s a clear reminder of how vulnerable the industry was and how criminals tried to take advantage of its success.
