Recent statements from the Trump administration have ignited a significant debate within Bollywood and the entertainment industry. The administration has characterized the US’s involvement with Mexican and Central American drug cartels as a direct threat, framing the actions as a defensive measure. These strikes, according to officials, are aimed at disrupting the flow of illicit narcotics. The US government has designated these cartels as terrorists, a move that has drawn criticism from various stakeholders. The film industry is keenly observing the unfolding situation, and Bollywood’s star power is increasingly involved in discussions surrounding international security. The potential for increased representation of these issues in future productions is a topic of considerable discussion.
