‘These People don’t make careers. They ruin your career and life.’ Abhinav Singh Kashyap on how Salman Khan and family sabotaged his projects

Director Abhinav Singh Kashyap came out to the public over a lengthy Facebook post on how the Khan family sabotaged his career. After the release of his film Dabangg in the year 2010, Abhinav says that apparently Arbaaz Khan and his brother Sohail Khan resorted to bullying in an attempt to take charge of his career.

“I have experienced exploitation and bullying first hand, Arbaaz Khan on Dabangg and ever since. So here is my story 10 years after Dabangg. The reason I moved out of making Dabangg 2 ten years ago is because Arbaaz Khan in collusion with Sohail Khan and family was trying to take control of my career by bullying me.”

The director also stated that the bullying supposedly continued when Arbaaz Khan sabotaged Abhinav Kashyap’s second project with Shree Ashtavinayak Films by threatening them to not sign him up. The same continued when Sohail Khan intimidated then Viacom CEO Vikram Malhotra and apparently warned him against signing up Kashyap. In both these cases, Abhinav had to retuen back the signing fee in both these cases, the latter’s fee being INR 7 crores with an additional interest of 90 lakhs rupees.

In the end, he says that his rescue ticket was downed onto him by Reliance Entertainment when they came to him and forged a partnership for the film Besharam.

Abhinav also says that all his projects were continuosly sabotaged and that his family also recieved threats in the context of rape and life.

“Over the next few years, all my projects and creative endeavors have been sabotaged and I have been repeatedly threatened with life and rape threats given to/for the female members of my family. The sustained gaslighting and bullying destroyed my mental health and that of my family and led to my divorce and breaking up of my family in 2017.”

Opening his Facebook post with multiple statements on his understanding about Sushant Singh Rajput’s case, he says that the industry doesn’t make careers but it destroys them.

“The death of Sushant Singh Rajput brings under scanner the role YRF talent Management Agency might have played in pushing him towards his suicide but that is for the authorities to investigate. These people don’t make careers. They ruin your career and life.”
