Amitabh Bachchan with Salim Khan
For those who are unaware, Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar wrote the screenplay for Amitabh’s 1975 film Sholay. They had a great contribution in representing Big B as the “Angry Young Man” of Bollywood. The Salim-Javed duo brought the revolution in Indian cinema during the 1970s. In the previous year, reverting to the TV video of Salim Khan in which he was talking about Amitabh Bachchan, he had a digital appearance in which he mentioned, “I am not a psychiatrist, so I cannot tell what went wrong with Amitabh Bachchan. I am not very close to him at the moment, there was a time I did 14-15 films with him. Sometimes it happens that a person becomes so accustomed to winning that when he loses, he gets shocked.” In the last video, Salim Khan was not seen as happy with Amitabh. Today’s video shows that they still have mutual respect.
