The highlight of Salman Khan’s latest YouTube chat was when he revealed that he borrowed two legendary dialogues from Amitabh Bachchan’s 1975 cult classic, Deewaar, but with a twist! Towards the end of their conversation, Salman surprised his father by revealing this interesting factoid. He told Salim Khan:

“Abhi iss picture mein, Sikandar mein, aapke 2 dialogue daale huye hai maine. Ek toh - ‘ye Deewaar ka- ‘Koi Amitabh Bachchan nahi hai jo phenke hue paise nahi uthaata.’ Wo daala hai. Aur phir ek aur daala hai ki- ‘Aap humein baahar dhund rahe ho, hum aapke ghar mein aapka intezaar ar rahe hain.’ Dono Deewaar ke hi hain. Thoda sa twist dekar use kiya hai.”

If you are a Bollywood buff, you might know that both these dialogues are nothing short of legendary. These lines were originally delivered by Amitabh Bachchan in Deewar, but they were the creations of the iconic duo of the time, Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar, popularly known as Salim-Javed.
