Dev D director Anurag Kashyap's filmmaker brother, Abhinav Kashyap, has recently been in the news after he accused the Khans of sabotaging his career. Dabangg director Abhinav Kashyap alleged that Salman Khan's brothers, Arbaaz and Sohail, tried to destroy his career.

Talking about his experience, Abhinav Kashyap said, "I have experienced bullying first-hand. The reason I moved out of making Dabangg 2 10 years ago is because Arbaaz Khan, in collusion with Sohail Khan and family, was trying to take control of my career by bullying me. Arbaaz Khan sabotaged my second project with Shree Ashtavinayak Films by [calling] their head, Mr Raj Mehta, and threatening him with dire consequences if they made a film with me. I had to return the signing money to them and move to Viacom Pictures."
