Filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap has stirred controversy by taking a dig at Shah Rukh Khan, urging the superstar to shift to his Dubai residence “Jannat” and questioning his relevance in India. Kashyap’s remarks sparked mixed reactions online, with SRK fans defending the actor while debates flooded social media.
Bollywood filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap, best known for directing Dabangg, has once again made headlines by targeting superstar Shah Rukh Khan. In his latest remarks, Kashyap questioned SRK’s presence in India and suggested that the actor should consider relocating permanently to his luxury Dubai residence, famously known as “Jannat.”

Shah Rukh Khan owns a lavish villa on Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, which has been widely covered in the media and often described as a palatial home. The property has become symbolic of SRK’s global stature and his strong ties with the UAE. Kashyap, however, used this as a reference point to criticise the actor, hinting that his relevance and influence might now lie outside of India rather than within the country.
While Shah Rukh Khan continues to enjoy immense popularity worldwide and has a strong fan base in India, Kashyap’s remarks appear to question the superstar’s cultural and professional impact in the current Bollywood landscape. His statement implies that SRK should “move on” and perhaps settle in Dubai where his stature is equally celebrated.
Abhinav Kashyap has had a history of outspoken criticism against several figures in the film industry. Known for his candid views and no-filter approach, he often voices strong opinions about Bollywood celebrities and the industry’s power dynamics. This latest comment against SRK adds to Kashyap’s reputation of being a controversial yet bold filmmaker.
As expected, Kashyap’s remarks sparked mixed reactions online. While some social media users backed his boldness, many Shah Rukh Khan fans came to the actor’s defense. Twitter, Instagram, and fan forums were flooded with debates, memes, and heated discussions, once again highlighting SRK’s polarizing yet unmatched presence in Indian cinema.
So far, Shah Rukh Khan or his representatives have not responded to Kashyap’s comments. Known for his dignified silence on controversies, SRK rarely engages in public spats, preferring instead to focus on his projects and fan interactions.
Despite the criticism, SRK continues to dominate the entertainment world with multiple projects lined up, both in India and internationally. Industry experts believe that such remarks are unlikely to dent his image, as he remains one of the most bankable and influential stars globally.
