Prakash Majjan has thrown down the gauntlet in Bollywood, accusing Mahesh Manjrekar and Sanjay Dutt of being intimate allies of mafia boss Chhota Shakeel. His pointed remarks have thrust the industry back into the spotlight over its shadowy underworld associations.
In a candid interview, Majjan painted a picture of covert meetings and mutual favors, asserting that the stars’ proximity to Shakeel goes beyond rumor. ‘They’ve been his go-to guys in the film world, protecting interests on both sides,’ he alleged, backed by what he calls insider accounts from the era.
Echoing the terror of the 1993 blasts and subsequent gang wars, Majjan’s narrative revives memories of how dons like Shakeel infiltrated Mumbai’s dream factory. Dutt’s legal battles and Manjrekar’s gritty storytelling have been dissected before, but Majjan’s direct assault adds fresh ammunition.
Silence from the camps of both celebrities so far suggests strategic caution, while Bollywood grapevines hum with speculation. Majjan promises dossiers of proof, positioning himself as an anti-corruption crusader in an industry rife with compromise.
Ultimately, this clash could catalyze change, forcing stars to address their pasts or risk reputational damage. In the court of public opinion, the verdict is still out, but the entertainment world braces for fallout.
