Amitabh Bachchan could have stopped it”: Salim Khan speaks about his split with Javed Akhtar

Salim Khan talked about their breakup a few weeks after Angry Young Men came out and suggested that Amitabh Bachchan might have prevented it. In an association with NDTV, Salim Khan reviewed the second when Javed Akhtar communicated his longing to autonomously work. Although Salim Khan did not object to the decision, he acknowledged that he still does not fully comprehend the circumstances surrounding the split.

At the point when he informed me that he needed to work independently, I said OK, no issue. A person cannot be compelled to remain. I still don't know why we parted ways. Salim Khan stated, "It simply transpired." In spite of their detachment, Salim Khan expressed that their kinship stayed in one piece. " We didn't talk to each other in private. I used to go by his house every day and talk to him. We used to meet. He stated, "The friendship is still there."

Is it possible that Amitabh Bachchan prevented the breakup?

Salim Khan said yes when asked if the end of their partnership affected Amitabh Bachchan. Since they had written some of Bachchan's most famous roles, their breakup undoubtedly affected him. After that, Salim Khan continued by stating that if he had been in Amitabh Bachchan's position, he might have served as a mediator to stop the conflict.

"In the event that I were in Amitabh Bachchan's place, I could have told Javed, 'Don't leave, you have an extraordinary organization, everything is working out in a good way, how could you need to end this?' "I would have done that if I were you," he explained.

Salim Khan also said that despite the fact that he meets Amitabh Bachchan frequently, they never talk about this. We keep in touch and even meet. We don't criticize harshly. We don't get excessively near anybody," he referenced.

Despite Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar's professional split, their collaboration is still praised. To celebrate Sholay's 49th anniversary, both of them went to a special screening in Mumbai.
