Amitabh Bachchan recalled his experience working with filmmaker Farhan Akhtar on the set of Lakshya when Akhtar visited his room at night to discuss the performance. The veteran actor told Farhan's father, screenwriter Javed Akhtar, that the moment made him feel like a novice receiving direction from a master. Bachchan shares an extensive history with the elder Akhtar, who formed a legendary screenwriting partnership with Salim Khan that shaped Hindi cinema in the 1970s.

The Salim-Javed duo wrote 12 consecutive blockbusters that established Bachchan as the angry young man persona, and effectively transformed him into one of India's greatest stars. Their collaboration produced iconic films such as Zanjeer, Deewaar, Sholay, Don, and Trishul that redefined mainstream Hindi storytelling with socially charged narratives. Farhan later remade Don in two installments with Shah Rukh Khan portraying the titular character for a new generation of audiences.
