In a blistering attack that has sent shockwaves through Bollywood circles, Prakash Majjan, a vocal critic of the industry’s alleged underworld links, has directly targeted director Mahesh Manjrekar and superstar Sanjay Dutt. Majjan didn’t mince words, labeling both as close associates of the notorious gangster Chhota Shakeel, a key figure in Mumbai’s mafia underworld.
The controversy erupted during a heated public discussion where Majjan laid bare what he claims are decades-old connections. ‘Mahesh Manjrekar and Sanjay Dutt have been hand-in-glove with Chhota Shakeel for years,’ Majjan asserted, pointing to rumored meetings and financial dealings that have long been whispered about in tinsel town. He urged fans and authorities to look beyond the glamour and confront these uncomfortable truths.
Majjan’s accusations come at a time when Bollywood is under renewed scrutiny for its past dalliances with the underworld during the 1990s, a period marked by extortion rackets and contract killings. Sanjay Dutt’s own conviction in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case has always cast a shadow, and Manjrekar’s directorial ventures have occasionally touched on gangland themes, fueling speculation.
Neither Manjrekar nor Dutt has responded yet, but industry insiders predict a fierce backlash. Majjan, undeterred, vows to release more evidence in the coming days. This feud highlights the persistent underbelly of Bollywood, where stardom and crime have intertwined for generations.
As social media buzzes with reactions, the question remains: Will Majjan’s revelations lead to investigations, or will they be dismissed as sour grapes? Bollywood watches closely, aware that skeletons from the past could tumble out anytime.
