On 15 June 2020, Kashyap released a statement on Facebook on the suicide of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, appealing the Maharashtra government to launch a detailed investigation.[16] He accused Salman Khan, his brothers Arbaaz and Sohail and father Salim of sabotaging his career and bullying him.[17][18] In response, Arbaaz said that the Khan family has started legal action against Kashyap.[19][20][21]

When Salim was asked to react to these claims, and he sarcastically said that of course they have ruined his career. Salim said watch his films first and then come to speak to him.[22] Salim further said that Abhinav probably forgot to take his father, Rashid Khan’s name along with his forefathers.[23] Salim concluded by saying that Abhinav can do whatever he wants and that he’s not going to waste time reacting to these accusations.[24][25]
