Comparing it to the #MeToo movement, he claimed that Rajput’s untimely demise is just the tip of the iceberg.Kashyap claimed he opted out of the Dabangg sequel because, he writes, Salman's brothers Arbaaz and Sohail Khan were "trying to take control of (his) career by bullying" him. The Khans allegedly sabotaged two of his independent projects — one with Viacom Pictures and the other with Shree Ashtavinayak Films.Kashyap stated that the Khans sabotaged “the release of the film, and got their PROs to run a sustained negative smear campaign against me and my film (Ranbir Kapoor-starrer) Besharam before release… Over the next few years, all my projects and creative endeavours have been sabotaged, and I have been repeatedly threatened with life and rape threats given to/for the female members of my family,” he recalled."I know who my enemies are. Let it be known that they are Salim Khan, Salman Khan, Arbaaz Khan, and Sohail Khan," wrote Kashyap, also alleging that he received threats by text, which he attributes to the brothers.Further in his statement, the director also traced a trend of talent managers and the way they function in the industry. He went on to allege the role Yash Raj Films’ talent management agency may have had in pushing Rajput to take his own life, adding “These people don’t make careers. They ruin your career and life.”Read Kashyap's statement here
