Veteran screenwriters Javed Akhtar and Salim Khan were one of the greatest writing duos in the history of Bollywood. They were the force behind some of the most iconic Hindi films of the ’70s, including ‘Sholay’, ‘Deewaar’, ‘Zanjeer’, ‘Don’, ‘Haathi Mere Saathi’, and were known to create the ‘Angry Young Man’ archetype. However, the two split up in 1982, ending their partnership of 12 years.
