With his writing partner Salim Khan, Javed Akhtar wrote some of the most memorable Hindi films of all time. Movies like Zanjeer, Deewar, Sholay... But the son of the celebrated Urdu poet Jan Nisar Akhtar had one man to thank for making him a lyricist, the avatar he is better known today. In this The Hindu interview (http://www.thehindu.com/arts/music/singing-away-to-glory/article4098414.ece?homepage=true#.UKU54qCXvOc.mailto), Javedsaab reveals who it was. (Irony: Javedsaab did not write the songs for the director's last movie.)
