When we talk about writing duos in Bollywood, we cannot miss the name of Salim-Javed. They gained recognition for making the concept of heroism popular in the film industry and have been trending for some time following the re-release of Sholay.

While the pair is enjoying the love they are getting from the public, FIR writer Amit Aryan has some other opinions about them. In a recent interview, Amit described Salim-Javed as "copy writers", adding that their work has always been plagiarized.

Amit continued by saying that Sholay was copied from Mera Gaon Mera Desh, which also had Dharmendra playing one of the leads. He additionally stated that the basic premise was the same where the main characters battle against a dacoit after being pursued by someone else.

On the other hand, Amit claimed that the characters of Gabbar Singh and the retired police officer were directly taken from Mera Gaon Mera Desh, where Vinod Khanna appeared as Jabbar Singh. There was also a retired soldier whose hand was cut off.

Amit gave the example of another film, Shakti, also written by Salim-Javed, stating that the climax resembled another film penned by the duo, Deewar. Amit even called the pair experts when it comes to business and sales since they can easily sell their narratives.

Meanwhile, an official response from Salim-Javed is currently awaited.
