Diptakirti Chaudhuri

Written by Salim-Javed is about Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar, the screenwriting partnership behind Sholay, Deewaar and Zanjeer, who between them built the angry young man that made Amitabh Bachchan a star. They were also the first Indian screenwriters to have their names painted onto film posters and to be paid on the scale of actors, which is the part of the story that changed the industry. Chaudhuri works in marketing in Mumbai and writes Hindi cinema books assembled from interviews and archives rather than from nostalgia.
