Threats from Gangsters, Stars in Fear... Is Bollywood Returning to the Dark Days of the 90s?

Bollywood star Ranveer Singh has received a threatening message demanding millions, linked to gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's gang, raising fears of a return to the violent struggles faced by the industry in the 1990s.

Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh is facing a renewed threat from gangsters, specifically a message demanding cash that has heightened security around his home. The situation unfolded shortly after the excitement surrounding his recent successful film, 'Dhuraandhar', and the upcoming sequel 'Dhuraandhar 2'. The urgency of the matter has compelled the police to bolster security measures at his residence amidst the growing fear and suspense.

This incident marks a continuation of the menacing grip that organized crime has on Bollywood, a trend reminiscent of the industry’s dark past during the 1990s. The threats from Lawrence Bishnoi's gang are alarming, especially since this gang emerged as a notorious name in Bollywood after issuing a threat to superstar Salman Khan in 2018. Despite the shock of these events, the entertainment industry remains reminded of a turbulent time that has left lasting scars and continues to influence its present.

As the industry grapples with this resurfacing threat, questions arise about the safety and freedom of its stars. The repeated involvement of gangsters threatens to undermine Bollywood’s reputation and could stifle creative expressions. This rerun of fear could lead to significant consequences for upcoming projects and the overall environment in which Bollywood operates, casting a shadow over its future.
