That’s quintessentially Feroz Khan—unbridled and unpretentious about love and life
Frank Sinatra’s song I will do it my way, is Feroz Khan’s anthem. That also explains why the voguish Khan helmed many a firsts in Bollywood. If he shot the Formula 1 race in Germany in Apradh (1971), he also filmed the Buzkachi horse sport in Afghanistan in Dharmatma (1975). While he introduced singer Nazia Hassan and composer Biddu to Bollywood in his Qurbani, he also pioneered the first 24 track recording with the Aap jaisa koi number. If Dayavan boasts of a two-minute long kiss (the longest ever) between Vinod Khanna and Madhuri Dixit , in Janasheen, Khan captured the World Mobike Championship in Melbourne, Australia.
Yet, Feroz, who recently bagged the Zee Cine Lifetime Achievement Award, insists that he is ‘an unsung hero’. “I’ve done 54 movies in 47 years. My counterparts have done above 200. But that’s how I work. No cameraman could tell me what is right or wrong on the sets.”
God of glitz
Credit him on the way he ‘glam wrapped’ his heroines, right from Mumtaz, Hema Malini to Sridevi and Dimple Kapadia, he says, “I’ve given vent to how I’d like a woman to be dressed as. When I portrayed sex on screen, it was never vulgar. When the censor board lady objected to the two-minute kiss in Dayavan I asked her, ‘Haven’t you experienced this or else your husband is not a romantic man, ignoring a beautiful lady like you’,” explains Feroz who also shot the most the passionate lovemaking scene in the barn between Anil Kapoor and Dimple in Jaanbaaz.
