According to a mind-blowing revelation by the Mumbai police, names of Bollywood actors are used by the Mumbai underworld to refer to various key terms in the drug supplying and peddling business.

That the Mumbai underworld has always had code words for commonplace things is not news anymore. In fact, Bollywood gangster films have familiarised the use of words like khoka and peti to denote Rs 1 crore and Rs 1 lakh respectively.

In addition to this, there's code words like supari (contract killing), lambi (AK-47) and nine number ki chappal (9mm pistol). The list is endless.

Now, a report by Hindustan Times has revealed that in Mumbai underworld lingo, names of actors are used frequently to strike drug deals.

Apparently, when a 'Sultan' is referred to on the phone, it means the person supplying or organising the drugs. Initially, Mumbai police would be perplexed on hearing statements like "Sultan is always late" or "Sultan proved a box-office hit" over the phone. But now the police have deciphered the code.

The Mumbai underworld's list of actors to connote different terms in the drug-dealing business includes:

Ranveer Singh = Peddler

Ranbir Kapoor = Host

Alia Bhatt = Cocaine

Kangana Ranaut = Afeem

Katrina Kaif = Smack

Priyanka Chopra = LSD

Nargis Fakhri = Ecstasy
