Salim Khan, along with Javed Akhtar, has penned some of the most iconic blockbusters of Hindi Cinema. Their partnership began in 1971 and together, they wrote the dialogues for cults like Deewar, Zanjeer, Sholay, Don, Trishul, and Mr. India, which was their last film together. In an interview with Dainik Bhaskar, Salim Khan spoke about Amitabh Bachchan and why he feels the star should now take retirement.

Khan said, “Amitabh Bachchan should retire now. He has achieved all that he had to in this life. One should keep a few years of life for oneself as well. Amitabh Bachchan has played a brilliant innings professionally. He has done good work so he must free himself from the race. He must take a graceful retirement.”
