His last outing as a scriptwriter was Lakshya in 2004 but the noted lyricist Javed Akhtar is making a comeback with a story revolving around the farmer’s suicide.
The 71-year-old Sholay writer said the screenplay is set in a urban setup and how a metropolitan man reacts to it. “After a fairly long gap, I have come back to script writing. I am writing a script about farmers’ problems. You get vegetable and fruits at a certain price but they get another price when they are selling it,” he said.
