While working together, Salim Khan was largely responsible for developing the stories and characters, whereas Javed Akhtar was largely responsible for developing the script. Salim-Javed revolutionized Indian cinema in the 1970s, transforming and reinventing the Bollywood formula, pioneering the Bollywood blockbuster format and pioneering genres such as the masala film and the Dacoit Western. Salim Khan was also one of the responsible person for creating the "angry young man" character archetype of Amitabh Bachchan.
