Filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap, known for directing Dabangg, has once again stirred controversy by taking a direct swipe at Salman Khan.

Kashyap, who has had a rocky relationship with the superstar since their fallout after Dabangg, didn’t mince words, saying, “I am not for sale. He can’t buy me.” The remark quickly caught attention across social media, with fans and industry insiders reacting strongly to his bold comments.

This isn’t the first time Abhinav has accused Salman and his family of professional sabotage. In 2020, the filmmaker had alleged that the Khan family’s interference led to his exit from Dabangg 2.

While Salman Khan has chosen to remain silent on the matter, Kashyap’s latest statement has reignited debates about power dynamics, favoritism, and influence in the Hindi film industry.
