Writer Calls Kashyap’s Remarks A Desperate Attempt At Relevance

The writer of Battle of Galwan has responded to director Abhinav Kashyap’s criticism of Salman Khan calling it a desperate attempt to stay relevant. This exchange has stirred debate in the film industry.

Abhinav, known for Dabangg has been making critical remarks about Salman Khan for years. Recently he again spoke negatively about the superstar in an interview.

While Salman remained silent, the Battle of Galwan writer hit back on Instagram, saying Kashyap owes his fame to Salman and is using him again to stay in the spotlight. He added that Kashyap’s career seems more like a footnote to Salman’s success.

In the interview, Abhinav also mocked Salman’s physical appearance, claiming his body looked unnatural and edited for films.

He further accused Salman of trying to suppress his voice with the help of his brother, Anurag Kashyap. The exchange has drawn attention across Bollywood circles.

This #AbhinavKashyap is double dholki mentally ill retard, in his old interview he himself admitted that he didn’t wanted to direct Dabangg 2 Bhai & family helped him & now when he’s short of Daal Roti, he’s dragging @arbaazSkhan & #SalmanKhan for fame.
