Viren, Veer Zaara was produced by Yash Chopra who also produced Faana. So its sort of making amends by not mentioning TSP for its terrorist role.
The Bollywood glitterati might be quiet due to the underworld connection. Its very clear that GOI cant do much about Dawood Ibrahim's gang which is very prevalant in the Bollywood financing business. They might get it in their shorts if they get too vocal.
The way out is to raise the cost of production very very high so that they have to corporatize the film production companies which seek money in the market and not in the underworld. Hollywood too was under Mafia control for quite sometime till the studio system broke down due to high cost of production and Robert Kennedy led the mob clean up in the early sixties.
But as long as there is no campaign finiance reform in India this underworld connection will be preserved as it gives the party in power an unfair advantage.
