He&#8217;s even shorter than Salman. But what a manipulative man he is, and the most clever thief. I mean, the story about Amol Gupta (Amol Gupte). I probably told you last time that he started the trend of dominating and manipulating directors, and his associates followed suit. Aamir Khan does just that. He finds weaknesses by seducing important people, throwing parties, indulging in debauchery, drinking alcohol, and feeding them food. He takes 25 takes of something; his first and last takes are the same. He doesn\u2019t understand acting, and there\u2019s not even that much difference in his performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Dabangg director went on to suggest that Aamir \u201cdrains out\u201d his collaborators by being excessively involved in every aspect of filmmaking, from shooting to editing. Abhinav added that the actor is\u201canal\u201d about perfectionism.<\/p>\n<p>Abhinav also claimed that Aamir has \u201ctrapped\u201d some of Bollywood\u2019s most respected creative minds. \u201cHe\u2019s manipulated me a lot in his ad films and works through very powerful people. He\u2019s trapped some of the industry\u2019s most prominent intellectuals, including Prasoon Joshi and Rakesh Omprakash Mehra. I respect them a lot, but I don\u2019t know what hold he has over them,\u201d he alleged.<\/p>\n<p> Abhinav&#8217;s controversy with Salman<\/p>\n<p>Abhinav\u2019s remarks come shortly after his public fallout with Salman Khan and the Dabangg franchise, reigniting discussions around his strained relationships within Bollywood. His unfiltered comments have divided audiences, while some see them as bold industry truths, others view them as yet another chapter in the filmmaker\u2019s long-running feud with top stars.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>       <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1759059008_235_story_trending@2x.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"\/>           <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\" class=\"breadcrumbclick\" data-vars-event-label=\"Home_clicked\" data-vars-event-action=\"\/\" data-vars-event-cta=\"News\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">News<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/entertainment\" class=\"breadcrumbclick\" data-vars-event-label=\"Entertainment_clicked\" data-vars-event-action=\"\/entertainment\" data-vars-event-cta=\"Entertainment\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Entertainment<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/entertainment\/bollywood\" class=\"breadcrumbclick\" data-vars-event-label=\"Bollywood_clicked\" data-vars-event-action=\"\/entertainment\/bollywood\" data-vars-event-cta=\"Bollywood\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bollywood<\/a> \/ After Salman Khan, Abhinav Kashyap now targets Aamir Khan, calls him \u2018chalaak lomdi\u2019 who manipulates industry big-wigs   <\/p>\n<p> See Less <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published on: Oct 24, 2025 12:21 pm IST Filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap has sparked controversy by labeling Aamir Khan&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":236610,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[20236,86579,4073,49,48,73528,75,337,3216],"class_list":{"0":"post-236609","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-aamir-khan","9":"tag-abhinav-kashyap","10":"tag-bollywood","11":"tag-ca","12":"tag-canada","13":"tag-dabangg","14":"tag-entertainment","15":"tag-movies","16":"tag-salman-khan"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236609","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236609"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236609\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236610"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236609"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
