Salman Khan, Farhan Akhtar & Zoya Among Producers Of Salim-Javed Docu-Film 'Angry Young Men'

Bollywood stars Salman Khan, Farhan Akhtar and Zoya Akhtar are producing a documentary titled "Angry Young Men". It is based on Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar.

Mumbai: Salman Khan along with Zoya and Farhan Akhtar are among producers of the upcoming documentary titled "Angry Young Men", based on their fathers Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar.

Directed by Namrata Rao, the project will capture the essence of Salim-Javed, who together redefined Bollywood cinema with a long list of hits in the seventies and the eighties, introducing the elements of angst, violence and machismo in consecutive hero-centric hits that gave Bollywood its greatest icon ever -- Amitabh Bachchan as the Angry Young Man.

Noted for being the first Indian screenwriters to achieve star status, Salim-Javed wrote a slew of Bachchan blockbuster classics as "Zanjeer" (1973), "Deewar" (1975), "Sholay" (1975), "Trishul" (1978), "Don" (1978), "Kaala Patthar" (1979), "Dostana" (1980), "Shaan" (1980) and "Shakti" (1982).

Although identified primarily due to their Big B-starrer Angry Young Man scripts, their memorable works extend beyond the template. They started out with films like "Andaaz", "Haathi Mere Saath" and "Adhikar" (all 1971), and also wrote "Seeta Aur Geeta" (1972), "Yaadon Ki Baaraat"(1973), "Kranti" (1981), and "Mr India" (1987) among other films, collaborating with many top stars and filmmakers of the era.
