Speaking at the event, Salman Khan highlighted the unique impact and legacy of Salim-Javed. He remarked, “Zoya Akhtar and Farah Akhtar started this, they came to me, all of us, and I thought it the best thing that could ever happen. I believe that they were the highest-paid writers then, and now as well, they are not leaving their position.”
Khan also shared his thoughts on why it was beneficial that Salim and Javed did not pursue acting careers. “I think it’s a good thing they didn’t pursue acting. They didn’t write for themselves, I am telling you, look at them, you probably cannot find two such handsome heroes even today,” he said, acknowledging their iconic status and contribution to cinema through their screenwriting rather than on-screen performances.
The trailer launch was attended by several notable figures, including screenwriters Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar, Salman Khan, Farhan Akhtar, Zoya Akhtar, Ritesh Sidhwani, Sohail Khan, and Arbaaz Khan, among others. The event served as a tribute to the enduring influence of Salim-Javed’s work, which continues to resonate in the industry.
Angry Young Men, directed by Namrata Rao, is a three-part docu-series that delves into the illustrious careers of Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar. The series aims to provide a comprehensive look at their contributions to Indian cinema and the lasting impact of their groundbreaking work.
Scheduled to premiere on Prime Video on August 20, 2024, Angry Young Men promises to be an insightful exploration of the legacy of Salim-Javed, celebrating their role in shaping the landscape of Bollywood storytelling.
