Meet actor who was thrown out of films after debut movie, father gave ultimatum, says 'his love was tough'; He is..., father was...
We have probably seen a list of actors who took breaks after giving several hits, and today we will be talking about one of them. Worked for over a decade in the film industry, lived his chocolate boy era and then disappeared for over a decade. Comeback after a decade Suddenly, after a decade, he made a comeback with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Netflix India period drama Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar and Mudassar Aziz's dramedy Khel Khel Mein last year and Tarun Manshukhani's ensemble whodunit comedy Housefull 5 this week. Yes, we are talking about Fardeen Khan. But did you know, like many second-generation actors of his era, Fardeen Khan's early years in the industry were marked by struggles. Fardeen Khan: 'It was tough…' Talking about the box office failure and negative reviews of his debut film, directed by his late father Feroz Khan, Prem Aggan, recently, the actor opened and said, 'Of course, it was tough. Criticism was harsh.' He further added, 'People I was supposed to be working with in my next few projects changed their minds and pulled out of the projects. Money had to be returned. It was really a good chance to sit back and think.' Feroz Khan gave him an ultimatum? On the Cyrus Says podcast, Fardeen remembered that his father, Feroz Khan, gave him an ultimatum after his debut film, Prem Aggan, flopped. Fardeen said, 'He said, 'We tried, we failed.' I'm putting a roof over your head for one year. I'll pay you an X amount of money every month. After that, you're on your own.' Fardeen further added, 'It was a beautiful call. He said I've sent you to one of the best universities in the world. I hope you're prepared to deal with life. This is how life is.' Fardeen was informed by Feroz Khan that his father had passed away when he was only 13 years old. He had to look after his family, which had five brothers and a sister. Fardeen added, 'He said, 'I had a vision, I did it. Now, let's see what you're made of.' It was as simple as that. It was really what I had to hear at that time. His love was tough! That just speaks to the kind of guy he was.' According to reports, Fardeen Khan had always been more passionate about filmmaking than being on camera. After returning from film school abroad, his father, Feroz Khan, decided to launch him as an actor, with Prem Aggan marking his Bollywood debut. 'I had a director who was just not my father, but also an iconic actor. So you're just worried about not getting it wrong. You bury the pressure and put it away, especially in cases like mine, whose father is so iconic in so many ways. If you think about that, you're finished. You just try and be honest with yourself and the written word on the script. And you try not to mess it up,' he said.

Fardeen Khan made a comeback to the showbiz with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Netflix India period drama Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar and Mudassar Aziz's dramedy Khel Khel Mein last year and Tarun Manshukhani's ensemble whodunit comedy Housefull 5 this week. But like several second-generation actors of his generation, the first few years were rather rough. 'Of course, it was tough. Criticism was harsh,' said Fardeen, reflecting on the box office failure and negative reviews of his debut film, his late father Feroz Khan's 1998 romantic drama Prem Aggan. 'People I was suppose to be working with in my next few projects changed their mind and pulled out of the projects. Money had to be returned. It was really a good chance to sit back and think,' added Fardeen. On the Cyrus Says podcast, Fardeen recalled Feroz Khan gave him a fair ultimatum after the Prem Aggan flopped. 'He said, 'We tried, we failed.' I'm putting a roof over your head. I'll pay you an X amount of money every month. After that, you're on your own,' said Fardeen, adding, 'It was a beautiful call. He said I've sent you to one of the best universities of the world. I hope you're prepared to deal with life. This is how life is.' Feroz Khan told Fardeen that he was just 13 when his father died. His family had five brothers and a sister, and he had to take care of all of them. 'He said, 'I had a vision, I did it. Now, let's see what you're made of.' It was as simple as that. It was really what I had to hear at that time. His love was tough! That just speaks to the kind of guy he was,' added Fardeen. Fardeen confessed he was more interested in filmmaking than being in front of the camera. But after coming back from film school abroad, his father decided to launch him as an actor in Prem Aggan. 'I had a director who was just not my father, but also an iconic actor. So you're just worried about not getting it wrong. You bury the pressure and put it away, especially in cases like mine whose father is so iconic in so many ways. If you think about that, you're finished.

Also Read — Fardeen Khan opens up about giving up alcohol, sought professional help to get sober: 'I started drinking at a young age, it was interfering with my life' Fardeen also reasoned that those days, actors used to shoot on film instead of digital. 'It was a huge part of the budget. It was just about not doing anything wrong and going with the process. I had no say in the dialogues or the script because I hadn't earned my stripes in any way,' said Fardeen. Fardeen followed Prem Aggan with Ram Gopal Varma's 2000 survival thriller Jungle. Fardeen was 35 when Feroz Khan passed away in 2009.

Meet actor whose dad was Bollywood's iconic villain, gave more than 20 flops, vanished for years and now...
Having a superstar parent doesn't always ensure a successful film career, a reality that applies to several actors, including Fardeen Khan. Despite appearing in 21 films, Fardeen has only delivered one box-office hit. After a 13-year hiatus, he made a powerful return with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Netflix series Heeramandi. Now, he is set to continue his comeback journey with a role in the upcoming Akshay Kumar starrer Housefull 5. Fardeen Khan, the son of legendary Bollywood actor Feroz Khan, who was once a dominant force in the industry, was introduced to films by his father, who had high hopes for his cinematic journey. Feroz launched Fardeen with Prem Aggan, but unfortunately, the film failed to make an impact and turned out to be a major flop at the box office. Fardeen Khan about family's financial struggles In a conversation with Pinkvilla, Fardeen Khan reflected on his father's journey as a filmmaker, stating that Feroz Khan became a producer with his debut project Apradh, which hit screens in 1972. Fardeen noted that, during that era, producers bore full financial responsibility, often relying on high-interest loans to fund their films, making the process quite daunting. He added that while his family did face difficult times, his upbringing remained grounded, with deliberate efforts to shield him from the industry's glamour and a sense of entitlement. Following a disappointing debut, Fardeen Khan went on to act in more than 20 films, none of which managed to leave a significant impact at the box office. Just as his career seemed to be heading toward decline, he appeared in Heyy Babyy, sharing screen space with Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Vidya Balan, Anupam Kher, and Boman Irani. Although the film was a commercial success, grossing over Rs 83 crore worldwide and earning the tag of a superhit, it did little to revive Fardeen's struggling career. After delivering a string of box office failures with only one notable hit, Fardeen Khan decided to step away from the limelight and took a 14-year hiatus from acting. His last appearance before the break was in the 2010 film Dulha Mil Gaya, where he starred alongside Sushmita Sen. Fardeen Khan on the work front Fardeen Khan is set to make his next big-screen appearance in Housefull 5, joining a star-studded cast that includes Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Bajwa, Nagis Fakhri, Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez, Soundarya Sharma, Chitrangada Singh, and more. In addition to this, he is also collaborating with actor Darshan on an upcoming Kannada pan-India film.
