In the 1970s and 80s Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar made a huge impact with their film making and revolutionised the film industry in having an indelible impression on screen writing and screenwriters with their stream of super hits like Zanjeer, Deewaar, Sholay, Don, Trishul, Shakti and Mr India.
The duo carved a niche in the history of screenwriters with their long lasting success at the box office. Interestingly, now Javed Akhtar’s son Farhan Akhtar and the latter’s partner Ritesh Sidhwani of Excel Entertainment are all set to bankroll a documentary-drama on the Salim-Javed’s phenomenal rise.
A trustworthy source disclosed, “It will contain extensive interviews with Javed and Salim Saab and also with Amitabh Bachchan whose career was spectacularly amplified by the films that Salim-Javed wrote for him. It will also have extensive footage from the phenomenal films that the duo wrote.”
Speculations were rife that Javed Saab’s daughter Zoya Akhtar will helm the documentary, however the makers dismissed the false news and say that they are arriving to a decision of finalizing a new director.
Screenwriter Dainik Bhaskar said the project is going to be more like a documentary and not a biopic. Reportedly, Netflix is in the race to bag the exclusive streaming rights of this documentary.
