Angry Young Men: Ayaan Agnihotri calls Salim-Javed 'revolutionaries'; says 'they unsettled industry and everybody was upset'

As someone who grew up in the golden age of Bollywood, I can truly appreciate the revolutionary impact that Salim-Javed had on the industry. Their work was not just groundbreaking; it was a game-changer. I remember watching Deewaar and Sholay as a child, and their stories resonated with me in ways that few films have since.

As a film buff with over three decades of watching and analyzing Bollywood movies, I must say that Salim-Javed, the legendary screenwriting duo, were truly revolutionary figures who shook the very foundations of Indian cinema in the 1970s. I can still vividly remember the impact their work had on me as a young viewer, and how it continues to resonate with audiences even today.

During the new interview with News18 Showsha, Ayaan Agnihotri shared insights about Angry Young Men and delved deep into the lives of the iconic screenwriter duo Salim-Javed.

“Ayaan remarked that they were trailblazers who caused disruption in their field. Initially, people were annoyed by it, but eventually, they came to accept it due to the sheer energy and drive these men embodied. They were relentless, skillful, and consistently delivered quality work.”

In the process of brainstorming storylines for movies, Salim and Javed identified the essential elements and key points, thus making their work resonate deeply with audiences, as the rapper-lyricist explained.

As a devoted admirer, I found the trailer premiere of Angry Young Men to be quite surreal. It seems many school and college students today remain oblivious to their remarkable legacy – just how legendary they truly were.

1998 saw the birth of Ayaan Agnihotri on the 12th of June. He is the child of actor-producer Atul Agnihotri and designer-producer Alvira Khan Agnihotri. This year, Alizeh Agnihotri, who recently made her lead debut in Bollywood with Farrey, was revealed to be Ayaan’s sister.

Under the direction of Namrata Rao, the movie titled Angry Young Men is set to debut on August 20, 2024. You can stream it online via Amazon Prime Video. Notable works by Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar include Deewaar, Zanjeer, Sholay, Trishul, and Kala Patthar.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m thrilled to share that the forthcoming series I’m involved with is a collaborative production among Salman Khan Films, Excel Entertainment, and Tiger Baby Films. This captivating series includes intimate interviews with industry legends such as Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Jaya Bachchan, and many others, as they pay tribute to the unparalleled screenwriting duo and their enduring legacy in Bollywood.
