Abhinav Kashyap Calls Salman Khan a 'Goon,' Alleges Khan Family Wields Vindictive Control

The director ties his Dabangg-era fallout to claims of vindictive industry control by the Khan family.

Overview

  • In a new SCREEN interview released ahead of Dabangg’s 15th anniversary, Kashyap said Salman Khan has not been serious about acting for 25 years and called him a “gunda.”
  • He alleged the Khan family is vindictive and seeks to control how the industry operates, claiming they target people who do not agree with them.
  • Kashyap said his break with the Khans followed his refusal to direct Dabangg 2, alleging attempts to sabotage his career afterward.
  • He compared his experience to brother Anurag Kashyap’s on Tere Naam, accusing producer Boney Kapoor of misbehavior and denying Anurag credit.
  • News reports note that Salman Khan has not publicly responded to Kashyap’s statements.
