Feroz Khan: The Gentleman Who Valued Sundays Over Stardom

Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta recently revealed previously untold details about the esteemed actor Feroz Khan, focusing on his principles. Gupta shared that Feroz Khan declined a significant role in Prakash Mehra's 1976 film 'Hera Pheri,' which would have paired him with Amitabh Bachchan. The reason for refusal was the film's schedule, which included working on Sundays, a day Khan steadfastly refused to work. In another anecdote, Gupta lauded Khan for his profound gratitude towards lesser-known directors who offered him chances in his nascent career. He emphasized that Khan believed these early supporters were instrumental in building his foundation. Feroz Khan, who passed away on April 27, 2009, at age 69, had a distinguished career starting in 1960. He starred in numerous popular films and later excelled as a director, producer, and actor in his own right, with his final film appearance being in 'Welcome' (2009).
