Reason behind Salim-Javed split

With the release of 3D version of Bollywood’s biggest blockbuster Sholay, Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar most celebrated scriptwriters of the 1970s and 1980s though finally buried the hatchet yet their split remained a mystery unsolved. Both of them agreed that their split might have been averted had they acted with maturity. Together the talented duo scripted some of Bollywood's biggest success stories—Sholay (1975), Don (1978), Deewar (1975) and Trishul (1978) before parting ways about 32 years ago. Mr India (1987) was their last film together.
