Salman Khan and his family are once again embroiled in controversy, thanks to a major statement by Abhinav Kashyap, the director of Dabangg, and Anurag Kashyap's brother. Abhinav had alleged that Salman and his family behave arbitrarily on set, even calling the actor a "goon."

 

Now, Abhinav's new statement is going viral on social media. In his new interview, he has taken on both Salman Khan and his brother Arbaaz Khan. Abhinav's recent statement is shocking everyone.

 

Director Calls Arbaaz a Donkey

Abhinav Kashyap recently gave an interview to Bollywood Hungama in which he again criticized the Khan family. A 31-second video of the clip is going viral on social media. In the clip, the director said, "Arbaaz is a donkey, useless, and a thief. He doesn't know anything. You're taking my credit, and these people are sitting on my rights. This is usurpation."

 

Not only this, Abhinav Kashyap further said in the video, "That's why I say these are people with a Jihadi mindset. No one has asked yet, and Salim Khan (Salman's father) has come to clarify that our family never ate beef. Did anyone ask you? At Being Human Foundation, everything is done for influence in the name of charity."

 

Dabangg 2 and 3 were not included in the 2010 film Dabangg. It's worth noting that Abhinav Kashyap worked as a director in the film. Arbaaz Khan played the role of Chulbul Pandey's (Salman Khan) brother. The first and second parts of this film were also released, but Abhinav did not direct them.
