In a conversation with Indian Express\u2019 Screen, Kashyap accused the actor of lacking commitment to his craft and described him as \u201cvindictive\u201d and \u201cill-mannered.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img-dscp\">\u201cSalman Khan is a gunda\u201d: Dabangg director Abhinav Kashyap calls him \u201cvindictive\u201d<\/span><span id=\"imagnary-data\" class=\"loading\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Kashyap, who had collaborated with Khan on the first installment of the <em>Dabangg <\/em>franchise, claimed: \u201cSalman is never involved. He is not even interested in acting, and he hasn\u2019t been\u00a0 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 <em>Dabangg<\/em>. Salman badtameez hai, ganda insaan hai (Salman is ill-mannered, he is a bad person). He is from a film family which has been in the industry for 50 years. He continues the process. They are vindictive people. They control the whole process. If you don\u2019t agree with them, they come after you.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>\u201cAnurag Also Faced the Same\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The director also alleged that his brother, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, had faced similar challenges while working on <em>Tere Naam<\/em> (2003).\u00a0 \u201cAnurag told me before <em>Dabangg <\/em>that you won\u2019t be able to make a film with Salman. He just didn\u2019t tell in great detail why. He just thought I\u2019ll get easily bullied, he knows these vultures. Anurag left the film eventually. He wrote the script of <em>Tere Naam. <\/em>Boney Kapoor misbehaved with him, then he left it. They didn\u2019t give him credit also. The exact same thing that happened with me,\u201d Abhinav said, adding that \u201cthe basis of any good film is a good script.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, in 2023, Anurag Kashyap himself had revealed during an appearance on Unfiltered By Samdish that he was removed from a project because of his frank advice to a star. At the time, he had said, \u201cI was thrown out of a film because I asked the hero to not wax his chest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0EXCLUSIVE: Salman Khan\u2019s Ek Tha Tiger gets INTERNATIONAL honour; is the ONLY Hindi film to be featured at International Spy Museum, Washington DC, USA; Kabir Khan reacts<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4> More Pages: Dabangg Box Office Collection , Dabangg Movie Review<\/h4>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 alt=\"Bollywood News - Live Updates\" title=\"Bollywood News - Live Updates\" style=\"font-size: 0.9rem;\">BOLLYWOOD NEWS &#8211; LIVE UPDATES<\/h2>\n<p>Catch us for latest Bollywood News, New Bollywood Movies update, Box office collection, New Movies Release , Bollywood News Hindi, Entertainment News, Bollywood Live News Today &amp; Upcoming Movies 2025 and stay updated with latest hindi movies only on Bollywood Hungama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap, best known for directing the blockbuster Dabangg (2010), has made explosive remarks about his experience working with Salman Khan.
