Based on the title of the original angry young man of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan and Salim-Javed’s influence over the megastar, the Akhtar siblings (Zoya & Farhan) has finally revealed the name of the much awaited documentary series based on the legendary screenwriter duo Salim-Javed and it is as fascinating as it sounds. The name of the series will be Angry Young Men, as earlier reported by Pinkvilla.
Earlier today it was reported that Angry Young Men will also be the first ever collaboration between Salman Khan, Farhan Akhtar and Zoya Akhtar as the series will be produced by Salman Khan Films, Excel Entertainment and Tiger Baby. This will be extremely interesting to see how one of the most bankable stars and two of the most gifted filmmakers approaches this project.
Those who are unfamiliar with Salim-Javed, the duo are none other than Salim Khan, the father of Salman Khan and Javed Akhtar, the father of Farhan and Zoya Akhtar. They worked together on 24 films, of which twenty were extremely successful films, both commercially and critically. The duo was the first to achieve ‘Star’ status as Indian screenwriters because of their contribution to the golden age of Indian cinema. The duo are often credited with the creation of the “angry young man” image of Amitabh Bachchan as they wrote the screenplay, story and dialogue for a significant number of Bachchan’s major box office hits.
We have also learnt that the series will contain numerous interviews with the legendary duo along with an extensive set of previously unseen footage of them, and interviews of legends like Amitabh Bachchan and glimpses of the behind-the-scenes of the films for which they wrote the screenplays.
As of now, we are still awaiting the news concerning the director or the digital platform of the project but this information around the much awaited documentary is surely keeping us excited. For more updates on ‘Angry Young Men’ stay with Binged.com.
