Stereotyping is one aspect but if you see most of these movies show Muslims as either religious or victim of circumstances, helpful, repentant, etc. Earlier it was with Christians where every villain who was a Christian was named Michael with a cross around his neck. Thankfully that is no longer seen nowadays. But we still have the Hindu villains unabashadely being shown sporting Tilak, rudrakh and saffron robes. Almost all movie industries are susceptible to stereotyping. Will broadly agree to the points made by Maqsood
i think commercial cinema is made to keep the cash register ringing. They would not like to deviate much from what has already been said and done so far with some small twists here and there. Image is so strongly associated with characters that film makers are simply not willing to take a risk by portraying beyond popular perceptions. Look at a butcher for instance. He is still portrayed in cinema (including vernacular languages) with a skull cap although there are so many other communities in this trade.

But sadly perception is mild compare to actual muz character. These MC brothelwoods are hypocrites at their best portraying them as innocent, victims, peace loving etc..all sin these P!ms see with Hindoos. BTW sooner muz change their ways would be only good for them else wrose is waiting for them.
