Veteran screenwriter Javed Akhtar, who co-wrote the screenplay for the 1975 film Deewar, recalled an interesting detail from one of the scenes in the crime drama. On Mid-day’s Sit With Hitlist series, the multi-hyphenate pointed out Bollywood icon Rekha’s connection to the film that starred Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor.
