He mentioned that Salman does a favor by merely turning up to work, focusing more on the power of being a celebrity rather than acting, and referred to him as a gunda (goon).Allegations of industry controlKashyap also alleged that Khan is ill-mannered and vindictive. He stated that Salman is considered the father of the star system in Bollywood, coming from a film family with a 50-year legacy in the industry, and that he continues this process. According to Abhinav, those involved are vindictive people who control the entire process, and if someone disagrees with them, they are targeted.However, it should be noted that Abhinav does not share a close relationship with his brother, Anurag, as they have been estranged for years and avoid involvement in each other’s professional or personal lives.Past strained ties between Salman and AnuragSalman and Anurag have had a strained relationship in the past. Kashyap revealed that he was initially meant to direct Salman’s film ‘Tere Naam’ but was removed from the project after requesting that the actor grow chest hair. He said, “I got fired from a film because I asked the hero (Salman Khan) to grow chest hair. I wrote the film, and after writing it, I was asked to leave Tere Naam.” When explaining his demand, Kashyap told Samdish Bhatia, “The film was based in Agra/Mathura. Have you ever seen people shaving their chest hair there? So, yes, I was making Tere Naam.”
