Abhinav Kashyap accuses Salman of bullying, calls him 'murderer'
What's the story
Filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap, who directed the blockbuster film Dabangg, has hit back at actor Salman Khan's recent jibe at him on Bigg Boss. On the show, Khan had asked Kashyap, Kaam mila kya bhai? (Did you find any work?)" after Kashyap's repeated attacks on him. Responding to this in an interview with Bollywood Thikana, Kashyap said, "Nahi mila kaam tabhi toh aapke yahan baitha hoon (I haven't got any work, that's why I'm here)."
Allegations
Kashyap accused Khan of 'bullying the weak'
Kashyap further said, "Tere naam humne kiya hai jeevan apna saara sanam." "Toh mere jeevan mein aajkal yahi kaam hai ki Salman Khan ke ghaav jaise hi bhar jaaye unko wapas kured do (I have dedicated my entire life to you, my dear. So my only job now is to dig into Salman's wounds just when they heal)." He also alleged that Khan only bullies those he thinks are weaker than him. He further called Khan a "gunda" and "murderer."
Discontent
Kashyap questioned Khan's treatment of him during 'Dabangg'
Kashyap also expressed discontent over how Khan treated him while making Dabangg. He said, "Agar Salman Khan ko meri likhai itni pasand thi toh Dabangg bante waqt itna ill-treat kyun kiya mujhe (If Salman liked my writing so much, then why did he treat me so badly during Dabangg)." He added that despite his talent, he was not given credit for the film's script as Khan gave it to his brother, Arbaaz Khan.
Reflection
Kashyap reflected on his experience while making 'Dabangg'
Kashyap also shared his experience while working on Dabangg, saying, "Woh din alag the, Dabangg mein main chhota tha, young tha, bahut saari cheezein samajhta nahi tha (Those were different days. I was young and didn't understand many things)." He alleged that Khan had goons in place who were the film's producers and held rights to it. "Salman ke chehre se hansi gaayab ho gayi hai (Salman has lost his smile)."
