After Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, Abhinav Kashyap has now launched an attack on Aamir Khan. In a conversation with Bollywood Thikana, Abhinav Kashyap called Aamir Khan a thief and a manipulator. Abhinav,
who is filmmaker Anurag Kashyap’s brother, also made nasty comments about Aamir Khan’s height. He further mentioned how Aamir’s ‘perfectionist’ image is unjustified.
Abhinav said, “Voh sabse chaalaak lomdi hai. Batla. Wo Salman se bhi chota hai height me lekin kya manipulative aadmi hai. Aur sabse shaatir chor hai. I made 2-3 ads with Aamir. He doesn’t know how to act… and working with him is exhausting; he drains you. He interferes in everything – editing, direction, everything. It’s an entire ecosystem maintained for strict control.”

“Having worked so much, I observe that if Aamir gives 25 takes, his first and last are often the same. He watches each of his takes and then says, ‘One more, a little more, this is left, that is left,’ but ultimately, there’s nothing,” he said. Abhinav said Aamir Khan started the culture of actors dominating and manipulating directors in Bollywood.
The filmmaker said, “He works through very powerful people.” Abhinav said that Aamir has “trapped” many great thinkers of Bollywood like Prasoon Joshi and Rajkumar Hirani, among others. He said, “Rajkumar Hirani is a very strong filmmaker and should move on to work with other actors and make his own films. But he still goes to Aamir. Rakesh Omprakash Mehra and Rajkumar Hirani – I respect them – they are very successful. So why do people keep meeting at Aamir Khan’s house? What is in this dwarf that others lack?”
Abhinav then questioned Aamir’s contribution to society. “The stars you talk about earn well and contribute to society. During floods, for example, what has Aamir Khan done? His biggest hit is Dangal, which was very successful. He claims he earned 2000 crore rupees from China,” Abhinav said.
“I read somewhere that Mahavir Phogat, whose story inspired Dangal, requested to open an Akhada in Haryana for training children. But it was reported that Aamir Khan refused. How much does it cost to open an Akhada? All that money was for Mahavir Phogat’s story, so I understand he doesn’t owe him anything. Perhaps he paid for the rights,” the filmmaker added.
