Dabangg director Abhinav Kashyap calls Salman Khan 'gunda' and ‘ill-mannered', claims 'he is not even interested in acting...'

Filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap collaborated with Salman Khan for the 2010 hit film Dabangg, which also starred Sonakshi Sinha, Arbaaz Khan, and Sonu Sood in the lead. The film was a superhit, with the fans praising Salman Khan for his performance of Inspector Chulbul Pandey.

Abhinav Kashyap has now bashed Salman Khan and called him a ‘gunda’ (goon) and his family 'vindictive.' The filmmaker also claimed that Salman is not 'interested in acting,' and called him an ill-mannered and bad person.'

In a recent interview with Screen, Abhinav said, “Salman is never involved. He is not even interested in acting, and he hasn’t been for 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 Dabangg. Salman badtameez hai, ganda insaan hai (Salman is ill-mannered, he is a bad person).”

The filmmaker also called out Salman’s family and said, “He (Salman Khan) is the father of the star system in Bollywood. 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’t agree with them, they come after you.”
