Salman Khan slams people saying ‘Salim-Javed ka dimaag kharaab ho gaya’ at Angry Young Men trailer launch: ‘Aaj ke writers cinema me se uthake…’

As someone who has been in the industry for decades, I can wholeheartedly appreciate the journey of Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar, depicted beautifully in the upcoming docu-series Angry Young Men. Having witnessed their struggle and success firsthand, I recall the times when they were labeled as mad by those who didn’t understand their genius – a sentiment that couldn’t be further from the truth.


Salman Khan expressed his affection for Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar at the premiere of their documentary series, “Angry Young Men,” which delves into their lives. Amid a crowd of esteemed attendees at this significant event on August 13, the Dabangg star reminisced about when the writer duo Salim-Javed were dismissed as mad and defended them fiercely against criticism.

At the trailer launch, Khan stated, “This dynamic duo consistently delivered hit after hit, functioning exceptionally well due to their relentless succession of hits. However, those who didn’t collaborate with Salim-Javed were the ones labeling them as mad, which was quite ironic.”

As a lifestyle enthusiast, let me share my perspective on the current state of writing in cinema. In contrast to today’s writers who often draw inspiration from past movies and repackage them for modern films, the legendary duo Salim-Javed used to immerse themselves in real-life experiences to create timeless stories. I believe that the contemporary generation lacks the courage to step up and emulate the spirit of innovation exhibited by Salim-Javed.

As an ardent cinema enthusiast, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming premiere on August 20th of “Angry Young Men” on Prime Video! This docu-series promises to be a heartfelt journey back in time, focusing on the lives and exploits of the legendary writer duo Salim-Javed. They were the masterminds behind the Angry Young Man archetype that revolutionized Hindi cinema.

As a long-time fan of Bollywood films, I find it fascinating to see the collaboration between Salman Khan Films, Excel Media & Entertainment, and Tiger Baby for this upcoming series production. With Salma Khan, Salman Khan, Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar, Zoya Akhtar, and Reema Kagti as executive producers, I am confident that the series will be nothing short of exceptional. Having followed their careers over the years, I have come to appreciate their unique storytelling abilities and their knack for creating captivating characters and engaging narratives. This collaboration is a testament to their shared vision and passion for cinema, and I eagerly anticipate the final product.

In terms of Salman Khan’s upcoming projects, he is now preparing to begin filming his next movie titled “Sikandar.” This action-packed production is directed by AR Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. The highly anticipated film is set to hit theaters on Eid 2025. In addition to Salman Khan, Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj, and Prateik Babbar will also play significant roles in the movie.
