The iconic partnership of Salim-Javed, which gave Indian cinema blockbuster movies like Sholay, Zanjeer, Deewar, Don, and many others, broke up in 1982.

The duo never got back to work on any other movie.
Javed Akhtar initiated the decision to split, but Salim Khan accepted it maturely without causing any friction in their relationship. However, a heartbreak was inevitable for Salim Khan, and it was Salman Khan, who was a child then, and he saw it through his own eyes.
While speaking on the Amazon docu-series Angry Young Man, Salman Khan opened up on first hearing about Salim-Javed’s break-up from his father and how disturbed he looked at that time. “I remember when the partnership broke up. Dad came home, and he was disturbed. I was sitting at the dining table in the hall, and he told me that they were breaking the partnership. When we asked why, he said, Javed sahab must have had his reasons,” Salman Khan said.
