Dabangg director blames Salman Khan and family for destroying his career

Dabangg movie director Abhinav Singh Kashyap recently took to Facebook and revealed that after Dabangg film in 2010, Arbaaz Khan and family sabotaged his career and the sustained gaslighting and bullying destroyed his mental health which has not only affect his professional life but the personal life also. ## The director's post came after Sushant Singh Rajput committed suicide on June 14, who said to be in depression for a long time. His death has also revealed the dirty truth of Bollywood that does not care about an outsider and treats such people badly.## Abhinav Singh Kashyap who is the brother of filmmaker Anurag Singh Kashyap wrote in his post that the government must launch a detailed investigation in Sushant's case. He compared the actor's death with the MeToo movement that revealed the dirty image of Bollywood.## In a long Facebook post, Abhinav wrote, "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 filmmaker also raised fingers on the talent management agencies who spot actors and introduce them to Bollywood celebrities promising a bright future in the film industry.## "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. These people don’t make careers. They ruin your career and life. Having suffered personally for a decade, I can confidently say every Talent Manager and all Talent Management Agencies of Bollywood are a potential death Trap for Artists."## "They are all basically white collared Dalaals and everyone is involved. They all have an unspoken code of conduct they adhere to. Their one simple mantra is, β€œHamaam me sab nange aur jo nange nahin hain, unko nanga karo kyonki agar ek bhi pakda gaya to sab pakde jayenge”. Following is mostly their modus Operandi," Abhinav Singh Kashyap added.## ## While sharing his own experience, Abhinav revealed how Salman Khan and his family destroyed his career after the Dabangg movie in 2010. He revealed that his several projects sabotaged only because of Arbaaz Khan. ## "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. 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. My project was sabotaged and I was made to return my signing fee of Rupees 7 Crores plus interest of Ninety odd lacs. Its only then that Reliance Entertainment came to my rescue and we forged an enduring partnership for my film Besharam."## He further revealed that "Over the next few years, all my projects and creative endeavors have been sabotaged and I have been repeatedly threatened with life and rape threats given to/for the female members of my family. The sustained gaslighting and bullying destroyed my mental health and that of my family and led to my divorce and breaking up of my family in 2017. 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 to file an FIR which they refused to register but registered a non-cognizable complaint. When the threats continued, I forced the police to trace the numbers but they couldn't be traced back to Sohail Khan(the suspected sender). My complaint remains open to date and I still have all the evidence," he added.## Stay tuned...

Why nobody came out and helped, gave him the kind of love, the work he wanted - because nobody care".## "I am sorry to say but nobody gives a shit about what you are going through. If your 1 movie flops then they start treating you like untouchable. True, Bollywood is a small family, but a kind of family that is never there when you need them. He had to take his life for that family to realise the kind of pain and need he was in".## "An outsider will always feel like an outsider here. I just wana say to my industry that help people when they need it. There is no point tweeting when they are no more. Don't pretend to be sad when you guys didn't do anything when he was sad.

Gulabo Sitabo review: Twitterati react on Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana's dramedy

Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana starrer 'Gulabo Sitabo' has finally been dropped to entertain the viewers all over again after the months of gap.

"Theater owners resentment is right but we have to move on", Shoojit Sircar over theatre owners protesting against OTT release of the films

The coronavirus pandemic has forced the makers to take the OTT route as theaters are closed indefinitely due to the pandemic and the lockdown. However, makers' new approach of going for the digital release instead of the conventional theatrical release has sparked a controversy between the film producers and theater owners. ## Recently, when Shoojit Sircar's Gulabo Sitabo was announced for its digital premiere, the multiplex chain owners expressed their disappointment over the decision taken. Now, the director of the film Shoojit Sircar opened up about the issue and said that the theater owners are right in protesting but we have to move on as there is nothing personal.## In an interview with Firstpost, he said, β€œTheir resentment is right, and that is why I never retaliated to what they felt. I just told them, β€˜Yes, you have every right to protest. You have every right to feel uncomfortable because this film is releasing digitally. But there is nothing personal. You will find your way to run your business, and I will find a way to release my films.”## β€œThe Producers’ Guild also sent a statement to theatre owners saying how will the producers move on. Unless they move on, and films get made, the films will not get projected in the theatre. But I will always say that both cinema halls and OTT are going to co-exist. Their resentment is absolutely right but this is not the end of the world. We have to move on,” he added. ## Gulabo Sitabo which stars Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana for the first time together is not the only movie that announced for the OTT release. Vidya Balan and Sanya Malhotra starrer 'Shakuntala Devi' too will release worldwide digitally. Both films will be released on Amazon Prime Video. ## Now, one of the much talked about films, Janhvi Kapoor starrer Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl too has taken the digital route as its distribution rights have been acquired by the streaming giant Netflix and it will release worldwide very soon.## Stay tuned...
