Javed Akhtar’s son Farhan Akhtar and daughter Zoya Akhtar were also seen at the trailer launch of ‘Angry Young Men. In the middle of the event, Salman Khan made a revelation that shocked people.

On Salman’s statement, Farhan said, ‘He did this? Then we will have to make a separate documentary on Manoj ji.’ Reacting to Salman’s statement, Javed Akhtar also gave his opinion. He said, ‘I think he has shown a lot of honesty by making this confession.
