Bollywood actor Sushanth Singh Rajput's shocking suicide is bringing more dirt to the shore by the day and of them is one social media post by Dabangg director Abhinav Kashyap. Abhinav in a lengthy post claimed he was bullied by Salman Khan and his entire family of actor-producers - father Salim Khan and brothers Arbaz and Sohail Khan.

Abhinav who not only directed but also write the script for Dabangg had infamously chosen no to direct the film's sequels due to credit issues. Now 10 years since his blockbuster film's release, the director has stated,

"The reason why I moved out of making Dabangg 2 ten years ago was 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..by personally calling their head 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," 

 

Over the next few years, all my projects and creative endeavors have been sabotaged and I have been repeatedly threatened with life..They erred and sent some of these threats as texts, sent to me as sms from several numbers. Armed with evidence, I went to the police in 2017..My complaint remains open to date and I still have all the evidence.

 

They use a clever mix of their ill-gotten money, political clout and connections with the underworld to intimidate anyone and everyone. Unfortunately truth is on my side and I am not going to give up like Sushant Singh Rajput..I will make sure that no more innocent will kill himself over lack of work with dignity in Bollywood.."

 

Both Abhinav Kashyap and his famous director-brother Anurag Kashyap were contacted by the media once this post went viral and their replies were given through social media statements found here:

For the media calling me and people who want to ask , treat this as my statement. “More than two years ago , Abhinav had told me clearly to stay out of his business and it’s not my place to comment on anything he says or does.“ Thank You
