About Salim Khan’s career
Salim began his career with small acting roles, but his breakthrough came when he shifted to writing. With Javed Akhtar, as part of the writing duo Salim-Javed, he redefined Bollywood storytelling in the 1970s and 80s. The duo wrote iconic films like Zanjeer, Deewar and Don which made Amitabh Bachchan a superstar, cementing his “angry young man” image. They also wrote films like Sholay, Seeta Aur Geeta, and Mr India, among others. The duo parted ways but Salim continued writing successful films such as Angaaray (1986), Naam (1986), Kabzaa (1988) and Jurm (1990).
He was recently part of the docu-series Angry Young Men, which highlighted his screenwriting journey with Javed Akhtar.
