Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai home on June 14. Police say he died by suicide and an investigation is underway. After Sushant’s death, many of his colleagues such as Vivek Oberoi, Raveena Tandon, Ranvir Shorey and filmmakers Anubhav Sinha and Shekhar Kapur called nepotism in the film industry. Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt trended on Twitter for sharing their tributes to the deceased actor, but having spoken contemptuously of Mr. Rajput on Karan Johar’s chat Koffee with Karan, where Sushant was never invited.
In a Facebook post, Abhinav Kashyap, who directed Salman Khan in the 2010 film Dabangg, alleged that “Salman Khan and his family sabotaged the release” of his film. An excerpt from his article said: “Mr. Salman Khan and his family sabotaged the release of the film and asked their PROs to conduct a sustained negative smear campaign against me and my film Besharam before release. It scared distributors to buy my film. Reliance Entertainment and I were brave and capable enough to release the film ourselves, but the battle had just started. My enemies, who were many, waged a troll and mouth fishing campaign against the film until the box office for my film collapsed. ” Actor-filmmaker Arbaaz Khan told Hindustan Times in an interview that legal action will be taken against Abhinav Kashyap for having accused them of sabotaging his film.
