'Aamir Khan chaalaak lomdi hai, sabse shaatir chor hai', Abhinav Kashyap launches scathing attack on Dangal actor

Filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap has launched a blistering public attack on Aamir Khan, marking yet another escalation in his ongoing critiques of Bollywood heavyweights. In an interview with Bollywood Thikana, Abhinav Kashyap leveled several accusations: that Aamir Khan is manipulative, overly controlling, and undeserving of the “perfectionist” tag.

Abhinav Kashyap said: “Wo sabse chaalaak lomdi hai. Batla. Wo Salman se bhi chota hai height me lekin kya manipulative aadmi hai. Aur sabse shaatir chor hai. I made 2-3 ads with Aamir. He doesn’t know how to act… and working with him is exhausting; he drains you. He interferes in everything – editing, direction, everything. It’s an entire ecosystem maintained for strict control.” He went on to challenge Khan’s much‐celebrated perfectionism: “Having worked so much, I observe that if Aamir gives 25 takes, his first and last are often the same. He watches each of his takes and then says, ‘One more, a little more, this is left, that is left,’ but ultimately, there’s nothing.”

Abhinav Kashyap also questioned why leading filmmakers continue collaborating with Khan despite these alleged behaviours: “Rajkumar Hirani is a very strong filmmaker and should move on to work with other actors and make his own films. But he still goes to Aamir. Rakesh Omprakash Mehra and Rajkumar Hirani – I respect them – they are very successful. So why do people keep meeting at Aamir Khan’s house? What is in this dwarf that others lack?”

The filmmaker didn’t stop at creative interference. He raised questions about Khan’s social responsibility. He said: “The stars you talk about earn well and contribute to society. During floods, for example, what has Aamir Khan done? His biggest hit is Dangal, which was very successful.

He claims he earned 2000 crore rupees from China.” He added: “I read somewhere that Mahavir Phogat, whose story inspired Dangal, requested to open an Akhada in Haryana for training children. But it was reported that Aamir Khan refused. How much does it cost to open an Akhada? All that money was for Mahavir Phogat’s story, so I understand he doesn’t owe him anything. Perhaps he paid for the rights.”

What this really means is that Abhinav Kashyap has positioned himself as a vocal critic not just of specific personalities, but of what he claims is a broader power-imbalance in Bollywood: actors who, he alleges, dominate creative space and control ecosystems. Whether all his claims are substantiated is another matter (and should be taken with caution). But his comments will certainly stir debate over star power, agency, responsibility and trust in the industry.
