On Tuesday in Mumbai, the trailer launch event of Angry Young Men, a docu-series of Salim-Javed, was held. The pictures and videos of the event have now gone viral. Salim and Javed sat beside each other and have collaborated with each other after years on this documentary. The writer-duo were accompanied with their respective children on either sides. Javed Akhtar, during the interaction, said, “When I visited Salim Sahab’s for the first time, Salman was not even one year old. He looks so handsome now, but it is not that has happened recently. Woh bachpan se hi khoobsurat the (He was a beautiful child). He was an exceptionally good-looking child. There used to be a black-and-white picture of Salman in Salim Sahab’s living room. It was a small frame. I don’t know if he still has it. The other kids were born in front of me.”

Javed Akhtar called Arbaaz Khan the “regular seducer.”

Talking first about Salman, Javed Saab said, “Salman is ‘He Man’, the ‘dashing hero,’ but he was this shy boy, bohot hi kam bolne wala, bohot his chupp chaap rehne wala bacchha tha (reserved and quite a soft-spoken child). He would quietly sit in a corner. Jo badmaash bacchha tha woh waha baitha hua hain (The naughty one is sitting there, pointing toward Arbaaz). He was a regular seducer. Whoever was Salim Sahab’s friend, he used to build a special relation with them… People used to think wow, he is such a sweet child. He never had ruffled hair. Even as a 6-year-old, he would have his hair done up. Have you ever seen a 6-year-old comb their hair? Arbaaz used to do it. (Laughs heartily). He had a lot of self-love.”

Everyone at the trailer launch on Javed Akhtar’s remarks were in splits. Angry Young Men is a joint venture produced by Salman Khan Films, Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment, and Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti’s Tiger Baby Films. Angry Young Men will premiere on August 20 on Prime Video.
