As a longtime fan of Indian cinema, I am absolutely thrilled about the upcoming release of “Angry Young Men,” set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on August 20, 2024. Given my passion for the industry and its rich history, I eagerly await this series that promises to delve into the lives and works of Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar – two giants in Bollywood who have shaped Indian cinema with their iconic collaborations. The anticipation is heightened by the fact that the stars themselves, Salman Khan and Farhan Akhtar, revealed their favorite works of these legendary writers during the trailer launch. This series will not only be a tribute to their remarkable careers but also an opportunity for us fans to gain deeper insights into the creative minds behind some of our most cherished films. I can hardly wait!

During the trailer launch of Angry Young Men, Khan claimed that he likes all the movies of Salim-Javed. He also appreciated their films, naming Deewar, Zanjeer, Don, and Sholay as some of his favorites. 

Akhtar openly spoke about his deep admiration for renowned authors, acknowledging that he’s watched their works numerous times. Despite his fondness for classic films such as Sholay and Deewar, he declared Kranti as his all-time favorite, having viewed it approximately 300 times. With a chuckle, he noted that the writers might not appreciate it being his top pick.

On August 13, 2024, a trailer for the movie titled “Angry Young Men” was unveiled. The teaser starts off with Salman Khan admitting his unusual sense of unease, then cuts to glimpses of Farhan Akhtar, Aamir Khan, Zoya Akhtar, Javed Akhtar, Hrithik Roshan, Shabana Azmi, Shatrughan Sinha, Karan Johar, Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, Yash, among others. They all share thoughts on the renowned writers Salim and Javed.

In terms of his professional endeavors, Khan is readying himself for an upcoming film titled “Sikandar.” This movie will be helmed by A.R. Murugadoss and will pair him with Rashmika Mandanna as his co-actress. The production company Sajid Nadiadwala has planned to debut this project on the occasion of Eid in 2025.

Previously this year, it was TopMob who initially announced the joint venture between Salman Khan, Sajid Nadiadwala, and A.R. Murugadoss for a high-profile action movie. This collaboration was subsequently validated, with Salman expressing his eagerness for the project: “I’m thrilled to collaborate with the incredibly talented @a.r.murugadoss and my friend #SajidNadiadwala on an exhilarating film! This partnership is unique, and I eagerly anticipate this adventure with your support and blessings. Set to release during Eid 2025.”

Currently, Farhan Akhtar is working on multiple forthcoming ventures. These include Don 3, a film co-starring Ranveer Singh and Kiara Advani, as well as Jee Le Zara, which features Katrina Kaif, Alia Bhatt, and Priyanka Chopra.

During a chat with Raj Shamani, Farhan shared why he picked Ranveer Singh instead of Shah Rukh Khan for Don 3. He emphasized that the script called for a new-age actor like Ranveer, whom he affectionately referred to as charismatic, playful, and full of life.
