NOT Zoya Akhtar, but a new director will direct the Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar documentary-drama

In much of the 1970s and 80s Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar revolutionized the way the film industry looked at screenwriting and screenwriters with their stream of phenomenal hits like Zanjeer, Deewaar, Sholay, Don, Trishul, Shakti and Mr India.

NOT Zoya Akhtar, but a new director will direct the Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar documentary-drama

Salim and Javed re-wrote the entire profile of screenwriters with their uninterrupted run at the box office. And now Javed Akhtar’s son Farhan Akhtar and the latter’s partner Ritesh Sidhwani of Excel Entertainment are all set to produce a documentary-drama on the Salim-Javed phenomenon.

A source very close to the development informs, “It will contain extensive interviews with Javed and Salim Saab and also with Amitabh Bachchan whose career was spectacularly amplified by the films that Salim-Javed wrote for him. It will also have extensive footage from the phenomenal films that the duo wrote.”

There were rumours that Javed Saab’s daughter Zoya Akhtar will direct the documentary. This is untrue. “We are on the verge of finalizing the director. It will be someone new,” the source told me.

Nestled in the posh locality of Bandstand, Galaxy Apartments is not a lavish mansion but a humble 1BHK flat. Growing up with his siblings - Sohail Khan, Arbaaz Khan, sisters Alvira Agnihotri and Arpita Khan Sharma – the building served as a playground where friendships were forged and adventures were had.
