The Kedarnath actor, Sushant Singh Rajput’s sudden demise has sparked a debate in film industry about the darker side of Bollywood like mental harrasments and pressure on actors.
Many like Koena Mitra, Kangana Ranaut, Meera Chopra and others have even slammed the Bollywood fraternity for their empty condolences. Now, filmmaker and screenwriter, Abhinav Singh Kashyap launched a scathing attack on Salman Khan and his brothers Arbaaz and Sohail Khan. In a hard-hitting post on Facebook, the Dabang’s director has now called out Salman Khan and his family for sabotaging his career.
A snippet from his long post read, “My appeal to the Government to launch a detailed investigation. Rest in peace Sushant Singh Rajput… Om Shanti.. But your fight continues… The suicide of Sushant Singh Rajput brings to the forefront a much bigger problem of what many of us have been dealing with. Exactly what might compel a person to commit suicide?? I fear his death is just the tip of the iceberg just like the #metoo movement was for a much bigger malaise in Bollywood. The death of Sushant Singh Rajput brings under scanner the role YRF talent Management Agency might have played in pushing him towards his suicide but that is for the authorities to investigate.”
Narrating his personal experiences, Abhinav further added, “My experience is no different. I have experienced exploitation and bullying first hand. Arbaaz Khan on Dabangg and ever since. So here is my story 10 years after Dabangg. 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”
On the work front, Abhinav Singh Kashyap is the younger brother of director Anurag Kashyap. While brother Anurag made unconventional movies like ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ and ‘Choked: Paisa Bolta Hai’, Abhinav rose to fame after directing Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha starrer 2010 action comedy film Dabangg, after which he became one of the most sought after directors in the industry.
