Salman Khan expressed his admiration for Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar at the trailer launch of the docu-series Angry Young Men, which focuses on their lives. During the event, held on August 13, he shared his memories in front of a crowd of esteemed guests, reminiscing about the days when the iconic writing duo faced criticism and was labeled as crazy.
Khan said during the trailer launch, “Two people giving hits after hits. Dimag inka chal raha tha aur bohot ache se chal raha tha. Kyunki woh hit pe hit de rahe the. Zyada kaam ke wajah se jinhe mana karte the, unhone bola ki inka dimaag kharab hai. Dimaag toh unka kharab hai. (The minds of this duo were working more than fine because they were giving back-to-back hits. Only those people who Salim-Javed didn’t work with were the ones who called them mad. It was the opposite.)”
Salman Khan then shared his thoughts on the plight of today’s writers. According to the superstar, Salim-Javed used to think and take inspiration from life. “Aaj ke writers cinema mein se uthaake cinema mein dalte hai (Today’s writers pick things from old movies and repackage them for new films),” said Salman adding that the current generation lacks the drive to step up, unlike Salim-Javed.
Releasing on August 20, Prime Video's Angry Young Men is a nostalgic ride revolving around the life and adventures of writer-duo Salim-Javed, who birthed the archetype of the Angry Young Man for Hindi cinema.
