Filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap Slams Salman Khan, Calls Him ‘Ill-Mannered’ and Disinterested in Acting
In a candid interview with an Indian publication, filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap, known for directing Salman Khan in his blockbuster debut Dabangg, has launched a fresh attack on the superstar. Kashyap, who previously accused the Khan family of undermining late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s career, described Salman Khan as ill-mannered and lacking commitment to his craft.
“Salman is never involved. He isn’t even interested in acting, and he hasn’t been for the last 25 years,” Kashyap said. “He does a favour by turning up to work. He is more into the power of being a celebrity than the art of acting.”
Kashyap didn’t hold back in his criticism, adding, “He is a gunda (goon). I wasn’t aware of this before Dabangg. Salman is badtameez, ganda insaan — ill-mannered and a bad person.” He also called Khan “the father of the star system in Bollywood” and accused him and his family of being vindictive and controlling within the industry. “They have been in the film business for 50 years and continue the same process. If you don’t agree with them, they come after you,” Kashyap claimed.
Salman Khan addressed the remarks on a recent weekend episode of his reality show Bigg Boss, saying, “People accuse me of ruining many people’s careers. Everyone says, ‘He’ll eat up your career.’ Whose career have I ever eaten? And if I ever do, it’ll only be my own.”
