Filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap alleged that Salman Khan and his family have been bullying him for some time now. He had also directed the Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha starrer Dabangg about 10 years back. The filmmaker took to his social media and claimed that ever since the movie, Arbaaz Khan and Sohil Khan have also been trying to take a hold of his career. He added that he was even threatened and all his creative projects have been sabotaged by the family. The director made six massive allegations and revelations on his post which has taken the netizens by shock.
In a long social media post, Kashyap wrote, "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. Arbaaz Khan sabotaged my second project with Shree Ashtavinayak Films that I was signed up with by personally calling their head Mr. Raj Mehta and threatening him with dire consequences if they made a film with me. I had to return the signing money to Shree Ashtavinayak films and moved to Viacom Pictures. They did the same thing."
"Only this time the sabotager was Sohail Khan and he intimidated the then Viacom CEO Vikram Malhotra. My project was sabotaged and I was made to return my signing fee of Rupees 7 Crores plus interest of Ninety odd lacs. It's only then that Reliance Entertainment came to my rescue and we forged an enduring partnership for my film Besharam," Abhinav Singh Kashyap added.
The filmmaker further mentioned, "All my projects and creative endeavours 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."
