Meet Aamir Khan's brother, gave 7 back-to-back flops, never became an actor, left acting, now works as..., his name is...
Faisal started his career at the age of 3. He played the role of younger Shashi Kapoor in his uncle Nasir Hussain's 1969 film Pyar Ka Mausam. Later, he made his debut as an adult actor in Aamir Khan's blockbuster film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988).
Faisal's role was brief in the film. He also featured in Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar (1992). However, even in this film, he had an uncredited role as a college student. Faisal also worked behind the scenes as an assistant director on his father's 1990 film Tum Mere Ho, which starred Aamir Khan in the lead role.
Faisal's sole film as a lead was Madhosh, released in 1994. Unfortunately, the movie did not do well, and the actor decided to take a five-year hiatus. He came back to the big screen with the film Mela (2000), directed by Dharmesh Darshan, where he starred alongside his brother Aamir Khan.
Though Mela was a flop, Faisal's performance finally gained recognition. Over the years, he did different movies including Kaboo, Dushmani, Border Hindustan Ka, Basti, Aandhi, and Chand Bujh Gaya, which did not achieve significant success. When Faisal Khan Filed a Report Against Brother Aamir Khan
As per media reports, Faisal filed a police report against his brother Aamir, accusing him of confining him at home under the belief that Faisal was mentally ill. As soon as the matter came to light, it grabbed massive attention from the media.
Now, Faisal has reduced the number of projects as an actor and has ventured into directing.
