A new TV show called “Angry Young Men” is coming soon! It’s about two famous Indian movie writers, Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar, who worked together to make some really popular films. You can watch it starting August 20 on Amazon Prime Video.

Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar changed Indian movies in the 1970s. They made movies like “Zanjeer,” “Sholay,” and “Deewar,” which were really popular and had a big impact. These movies introduced a new kind of hero, the “angry young man,” which people really liked and made Amitabh Bachchan a superstar.

The show will explore how these two writers brought new ideas to Indian movies. Their work was different and exciting, and it changed how people thought about stories and characters. Salim-Javed were the first writers in India to become famous, and their words are still remembered today.
