Abhinav Kashyap takes dig at Shah Rukh Khan, tells him to move into Dubai house 'Jannat': 'What are you doing in India?'

Abhinav Kashyap has spoken out against Salman Khan several times. But interestingly, this time he took a dig not at ’s Bhaijaan, but at superstar Shah Rukh Khan. In a recent interview, the director of 'Dabangg' took a jibe at SRK and suggested that the 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' actor should move to Dubai. Kashyap criticised the superstar, claiming he "only takes" and gives nothing back to society.

Abhinav Kashyap says Shah Rukh Khan should move to Dubai

Speaking to Bollywood Thikana, Abhinav said, "This community knows only to take, not to give. They only take, take, and take more. Shah Rukh Khan's Dubai house is called Jannat, while the one here is called Mannat. What does that mean? All your mannatein (prayers) were answered here. He keeps making more prayers. I heard he is building two more floors on his bungalow. So the demands are increasing. But if your jannat (paradise) is there, go live there. What are you doing in India?"

Filmmaker criticises Shah Rukh Khan’s dialogue from ‘Jawan’

Abhinav also targeted a famous line from Shah Rukh’s 2023 film 'Jawan', saying, "Then he says lines in films like, 'bete ko haath lagaane se pehle baap se baat kar'. What do we talk to these people? They have created their palaces beyond the reach of the common man. What do I care what their net worth is? Do you give me food? Shah Rukh may be a well-spoken person but neeyat uski bhi gadbad hi hai (his intentions are also wrong)."
