B-town macho Khan Salman Khan's dear father and master scriptwriter gave Vikas Vikas Bahl and Nitesh Tiwari the moment which will make them feel proud for many years to come.

The legendary scriptwriter, who along with partner Javed Akhtar, had won the Filmfare award for Zanjeer (1973), handed over the trophy to Vikas Bahl and Nitesh Tiwari after watching their film 'Chillar Party'.

This is my way of appreciating good work that I come across.He adds Salman has associated himself with a good product. If films like Chillar Party work, good films will be encouraged. We should appreciate such movies

He adds Chillar Party is genuine, honest and compassionate. It's also difficult to make because the cast includes untrained kids and a dog. I hope such films are made more often

The director duo is, of course, elated. It's a great feeling. As far as awards go, Salim sir's appreciation has sorted that part.

Seriously, we couldn't have asked for a bigger compliment. Now, we wait for the audience's response,says Vikas Bahl.
