As it turns out, Salman Khan's father is miffed with Big B for his indifference towards his family.

It must not be forgotten that Amitabh Bachchan has time and again said that he is indebted to the writer duo Javed-Salim (Javed as in Javed Akhtar) for penning stories for his milestone hits.
However, the scars in Salim's heart run deep. In 1991, Khan had written ‘Akayla' which was directed by Ramesh Sippy and starred Big B. Following this, Salim wanted to cast Amitabh in one of his rom-com movies but the latter refused politely. The movie was announced with much fanfare, but it died quietly.
While Amitabh has shared screen space with Salim's son Salman quite a number of times, he is still not in good books of the screenwriter.
