Vijay Akela has nurtured an exceptionally close relationship with Javed Akhtar for more than 30 years. Numerous encounters have taken place during this period. In every way, he regards Javed Akhtar's status higher than any other influential figure in the Mumbai Film Industry. Vijay Akela views Javed Akhtar's tremendous success not as a stroke of luck, but as a result of his unwavering determination and exceptional intellect. He ponders, 'Can the film industry even operate today without the intellect of Javed Akhtar? While we managed without Sahir Ludhianvi, we cannot fathom existence without Javed Akhtar.' This story documents Vijay Akela's profound journey alongside Javed Akhtar, vividly portrayed like scenes on a screen with unyielding bravery. If Manto's Meena Bazaar was a historical record in its time, then Vijay Akela's 'Javed Akhtar & I An interactive document' stands as a testament to this era in every way.
About the Author: Vijay Akela is an iconic Bollywood song writer who is known for his blockbuster songs in movies Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai & Krrish. He is also a famous RJ in Mumbai & Dubai. Currently, he is occupied with film making.
