Salim Khan, who co-wrote ‘Zanjeer’ with Javed Akhtar, has gone to
the Scriptwriter’s Association, demanding a fair share of royalty from Apoorva
Lakhia who is remaking the Amitabh Bachchan film. Khan has demanded a
compensation of Rs 6 crore as royalty from Reliance Entertainment and Amit
Mehra (producers of the remake). “We are not against the remaking of films.
Tell me, aren’t they going to sell their product? The product comprises the
script, music etc. The situational emotional drama showcased in ‘Zanjeer’
stands pivotal to the making. Also, they are reviving the memories of the
actions and drama played by Amitabh Bachchan and Pran who are remembered for their
electrifying performances. ‘Zanjeer’ is a valuable film written by us.
Filmmaking is a business and it needs to be dealt with as such,” he says.
