Salman Khan and Abhinav Kashyap
Filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap, who has directed Salman Khan`s iconic film Dabangg, has made some shocking allegations against the actor and his family. For the uninitaited, Abhinav had a major fallout with the Khan family back in 2010 when the film released on the big screens. And now, year later, ahead of the blockbuster film completing 15 years, Abhinav has once again lashed out at Salman calling him a `gunda`(goon) and revealed that the actor is not interested in acting.
During an interview with Screen, Abhinav said, "Salman is never involved. He is not even interested in acting, and he hasn’t been since the last 25 years. He does a favour by turning up to work. He is more into the power of being a celebrity, but he is not interested in acting. He is a gunda (goon). I was not aware of this before Dabangg. Salman badtameez hai, ganda insaan hai (Salman is ill-mannered, he is a bad person)."
