New Delhi: On Tuesday (August 13), the makers of the upcoming documentary series 'Angry Young Men' held a trailer launch event in Mumbai. Along with Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar, Salman Khan, Farhan Akhtar and Zoya Akhtar were also present at the event. During the trailer launch, Salman Khan reminisced about Salim-Javed's illustrious writing career. He also slammed the people who used to criticise the duo. 


According to Salman Khan, while Salim-Javed were consistently giving hit after hit, their critics referred to them as crazy. He said, “Two people giving hits after hits and now they have to refuse a lot of producers and actors. Toh wo waha see aata hai. Ki ye log apne aap ko samajhte kya hain. Inka dimaag kharab hogya hai (So that is where it comes from. What do these people think of themselves? They have lost their minds).”


Salman added, “Dimaag inka chal hi raha tha aur bohot ache se chal raha tha. Kyunki ye hit pe hit diye jaa rahe the. Aur jinke sath ye kaam nahi kar paaye, unhone inko tag kar diya ki inka dimaag kharab tha. Lekin, actually inka nahi tha. Jinhone inko ye bola hai wo unka dimaag kharab hai (Their mind was working and it was working very well because they were giving hits after hits. And those with whom they could not work, they tagged them that they were crazy. But, actually, they were not. Those who told them this, they are crazy)”
