Abhinav even accused them of sabotaging his career after he refused to direct the sequel, Dabangg 2. Now, ahead of Dabangg\u2019s 15th anniversary, the filmmaker has opened up about the superstar\u2019s behaviour on set in an exclusive interview with SCREEN. He also revealed how his brother, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, faced setbacks after a fallout with producer Boney Kapoor during their 2003 film Tere Naam, which also starred Salman.<\/p>\n<p>During a candid chat, <a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/entertainment\/bollywood\/abhinav-kashyap-salman-khan-controversy-film-association-6467781\/\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Abhinav<\/a> called Salman a \u2018goon\u2019 and said, \u201cSalman is never involved. He is not even interested in acting, and he hasn\u2019t been since the last 25 years. He does a favour by turning up to work. He is more into the power of being a celebrity, but he is not interested in acting. He is a gunda (goon). I was not aware of this before Dabangg.
