Well-known director Abhinav Kashyap, famous for directing the blockbuster movie Dabangg, is once again in the news because of his explosive statements. After making serious accusations against the Salman Khan family, Kashyap has now targeted ‘Mr. Perfectionist’ Aamir Khan.

In a recent interview, Abhinav Kashyap called Aamir Khan ‘The Most Cunning Fox’ (Sabse Chaalaak Lomdi) and a ‘Smartest Thief’, creating a sensation in Bollywood circles.

The Most Cunning Fox and a Manipulative Man

Abhinav Kashyap shared his experience of working with Aamir Khan on several advertisement films (Ad Films), describing the actor as extremely manipulative and controlling. Kashyap claims that Aamir Khan interferes in everything, whether it is editing, direction, or any other creative part of the film.

He suggests that working with Aamir is draining and exhausting, as the actor tries to maintain strict control over the entire creative process. Kashyap also questioned Aamir’s reputation for ‘Perfectionism,’ stating that Aamir might take up to 25 takes for one scene, but there is often no big difference between his first and last takes, suggesting it’s an illusion of hard work.

Questions on ‘Dangal’ and Social Responsibility

Abhinav Kashyap also criticized Aamir Khan’s public image and his social contributions, especially regarding the film Dangal. Kashyap alleged that Aamir Khan made huge profits from his hit film Dangal, which was based on Mahavir Phogat’s life.

However, when Mahavir Phogat reportedly asked for help to open a wrestling academy (Akhada) to train children, Aamir Khan allegedly refused to provide support. Kashyap questioned why Aamir did not fulfill his social responsibility despite earning so much money from Phogat’s story.

The Ongoing Bollywood Feud

This controversy comes just after Kashyap made headlines for his long-standing feud with the Salman Khan family. Kashyap has repeatedly accused them of sabotaging his career and stealing his creative work.
