Did Dibakar take a pot shot at the Khans?

Dibakar Banerjee's new offering Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!, recently had a grand trailer launch along with Sushant Singh Rajput.

While both Sushant and Dibakar sporting answered all the questions of the media, the later kind of took a pot shot at the Khans of Bollywood. When Dibakar was asked about how confident he was with regard to Detective Byomkesh Bakshy, since it's a genre that hasn't worked well in the past, this is what he had to say, "I have never been confident in what I do. I just know that I was dying to make it since after Khosla Ka Ghosla. And slowly I gathered the power, the knowledge and the resources to make it. We have done our best and then gone five steps ahead. My dream was to see Byomkesh Bakshy on screen, because he is an immortal Indian character. We have everything in Indian literature that can be our own icons. Also if every film will have a 45-year-old man playing a 22-year-old man and romancing a 23-year-old woman, then where will other interesting stories go?"

Whoo, now that's in the face. Even though Dibakar spoke his heart out at the event, whether was it a dig at the Khans? Well only Dibakar would know. But what do you think?
