Abhinav Kashyap Reignites War, Brands Arbaaz Khan 'Gadha Hai, Chor!' in Fiery New Attack on Salman Khan's Family

Bollywood director Abhinav Kashyap, known for helming the blockbuster 'Dabangg,' has once again ignited a blazing war of words against Salman Khan's family, unleashing a fresh volley of scathing accusations. In his latest no-holds-barred attack, Kashyap didn't mince words, publicly branding Arbaaz Khan with highly offensive labels: "gadha" (donkey) and "chor" (thief).

This renewed verbal assault plunges the industry back into the infamous feud that first erupted in 2020 when Kashyap openly accused Salman Khan and his brothers, Arbaaz and Sohail, of systematically sabotaging his career after his departure from the 'Dabangg' franchise.

Four years later, the director appears as unyielding as ever in his conviction, doubling down on his claims and adding fuel to the already raging fire.

Kashyap's recent tirade specifically targets Arbaaz Khan, who took over the directorial reins for 'Dabangg 2.' The director alleges that Arbaaz and Sohail Khan essentially "stole" the credit for the initial success of 'Dabangg' and swiftly transformed it into their "family franchise." He asserts that they exploited the groundwork he laid, claiming ownership of the very project he had meticulously crafted.

Delving deeper into his long-held grievances, Kashyap reiterated his previous allegations of career sabotage.

He claims that after his refusal to direct 'Dabangg 2' due to creative differences and a desire to retain artistic control, the Khan family systematically worked to impede his professional growth. He vividly recounted how the credit for iconic scenes, such as the famous 'flying shirt' sequence in the first 'Dabangg' film, was allegedly usurped, further fueling his sense of betrayal.

In a detailed Facebook post from 2020, which continues to resonate, Kashyap had laid bare the inner workings of the film industry, alleging a pervasive nexus that allowed powerful individuals to stifle talent and creativity.

He described how the success of 'Dabangg' was swiftly co-opted, and he was sidelined, with his vision being appropriated for sequels he had no part in developing. Kashyap’s narrative paints a picture of a director fighting tirelessly against overwhelming odds, striving to reclaim his rightful place and recognition.

For Abhinav Kashyap, this ongoing battle is more than just about filmmaking credits or financial disputes; it's a profound fight for his "dignity and respect" within an industry he feels has wronged him.

His latest outburst indicates that the wounds from the 'Dabangg' saga remain unhealed, and he is determined to keep the spotlight on what he perceives as a profound injustice, ensuring his accusations echo loudly throughout Bollywood.
