So, Bollywood said hold my chai, because Dabangg’s real-life masala is spicier than the movie’s dialogues. Director Abhinav Kashyap has returned to the group chat with allegations that Salman Khan once threw utensils at Arbaaz Khan, and nope, this isn’t a Bigg Boss prank. Social feeds are flooded with “kya scene hai?” and “Munni badnaam hui toh kyu?” memes. Here’s the lowdown, minus the bakwaas!

1. The New Allegations: Katori Wars & Bro-Therapy
Abhinav Kashyap’s latest interview (shoutout to those viral Bollywood Thikana clips) revives his old feud with the Khans. He alleges that Salman once hurled utensils in the middle of a fight with Arbaaz, also claiming “the brothers hate each other”, yep, very “parivarik drama but with A-list actors” vibes. Multiple outlets have carried these fresh statements, and desi Twitter is divided between the “spill more chai” fans and the “sources, pls” skeptics.

2. The Dabangg Backstory 101: More Than Just Masala
This beef didn’t start at the last family dinner; it’s been simmering since Dabangg (2010). Kashyap, who directed the original, exited the franchise amid claims that the Khans sidelined him and edited out roles/scenes he had fought for, a point he reiterated in his 2025 interviews. He also alleges Salman trimmed Arbaaz’s chase scene and interfered with other big decisions, as echoed. No word yet from the Khans on these fresh explosion-level claims at the time of writing, so bookmark that popcorn.
3. Munni Re‑Enters The Chat: Dancefloor Drama Alert
Why is Malaika’s “Munni Badnaam Hui” everywhere again? Kashyap claims Arbaaz wanted to veto Malaika in the song, worried it might look too vulgar. Meanwhile, Munni still rules sangeet playlists, nostalgia game STRONG.

4. Internet Buzz: Meme Machine Activated
As expected, the timeline split into “spill the tea, director saab” vs. “bore ho gaya, kuch naya bolo”—classic stan-versus-skeptic showdowns. These “utensil” quotes are headline fuel. Public mood? Unfiltered, meme-worthy, but (mostly) empathy-first, no shame, just share.
5. Receipts Corner: What’s Fact, What’s Gup
Let’s untangle the masala: Yes, Kashyap has made all these statements, as reported on Sept 9, 2025 (Munni song) and Oct 21–22, 2025 (utensil drama). But there’s no word yet from Salman, Arbaaz, or Malaika on these new rounds of claims. For now, it’s Kashyap’s word and the Internet’s popcorn. Stay tuned!
