 Before release , critic and writer Shobhaa De called for a boycott of Dabangg , due to Salman 's comments on the 2008 Mumbai attacks . She criticised it as " arrogance , ignorance and plain stupidity . " This sparked off a fight with the producers via Twitter , and continued after her negative review of the film . Anurag Kashyap , brother of Abhinav Kashyap , tweeted " Salman khan thinks he made my brother 's life .. Hope he can do the same for his brother Arbaaz with Dabangg 2 . " This was taken as " slamming " Salman and resulted in Arbaaz retorting back by referring to the comment as " attitude " instead of " gratitude " . However , Anurag later apologised for his remarks , which Arbaaz accepted .
