Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri Accuses Rhea Chakraborty Of Lying In The Public Domain To Protect Lot Of People

Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has accused late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's girlfriend, Rhea Chakraborty for lying in the public domain with an intention to protect a lot of people. "The Tashkent Files" director alleged that drugs have been normalized in Bollywood over the past decade, bringing in its wake money and terror mafia. ## Speaking to IANS, the filmmaker said, "For the last 10 years, drugs, especially chemical substances, have been normalized in Bollywood by powerful people. Along with drugs comes a lot of criminality in terms of the money mafia and the terror mafia. All these kind of things come in all kinds of illegal, unethical, and criminal stuff is taking place. ## Talking about Rhea's contention that Sushant took Modafinil to overcome claustrophobia on a flight, Agnihotri said "I feel Rhea is absolutely lying in the public domain to protect lots of people.## Without taking names, the 46-year-old also alleged that several top Bollywood actors have an anti-India, anti-Hindu mindset, which was not the case in the film industry in the past.## "Obviously, along with the criminality, a lot of urban Naxals come into the picture and they are primarily anti-Hindu, anti-India, which is why you will find some of the top stars of India talking about leaving the country. They go stand in JNU or take sides with the Shaheen Bagh people".## "This has never happened in the industry in the past. Be it Dev Anand, Manoj Kumar, Dharmendra, Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan - everybody stood for the country. This is a new trend these people have started, of ganging up against the country", said the filmmaker. ## Stay tuned...
