In the viral video, Javed Akhtar spoke about the epic “Yunki ye kaun bola" scene from the 1975 film Sholay when he said, “In Sholay, there was a scene where Dharmendra hides behind Shiv ji's murti and speaks, and Hema Malini (thinks) Shiv ji is talking to her. Is it possible to have a scene like that today? No, I will not write a scene (like this today). Were there no Hindus in 1975 (when Sholay released)? Were there no dharmic people? There were."

“As a matter of fact, I'm on record, I'm not saying it right here. Raju Hirani and I were in Pune in front of a big audience and I said ‘Don't become like Muslims. Make them like yourself. You are becoming like Muslims'. It's a tragedy," Akhtar added.
