The article from The Times of India reports on revelations made by former Mumbai top cop D. Sivanandhan regarding the deep involvement of the Mumbai underworld in Bollywood during the 1990s. Sivanandhan disclosed that gangsters, particularly Dawood Ibrahim, had significant control over the film industry, financing many movies and even influencing their content to improve the gangsters' public image. He specifically mentioned that films like *Satya*, *Company*, *Daddy*, and others were funded by the underworld. Sivanandhan recalled an incident where a top Bollywood actor, along with 83 other musicians and performers, flew to Dubai on a special flight to perform at a show for Dawood Ibrahim's daughter. This event highlighted the extent of the underworld's influence and the fear that permeated the industry at the time. The article also notes that Govinda admitted to performing at such events, saying, "hum kya karein" (what could we do), reflecting the pressure artists faced from the powerful gangsters.
