Overview

• Fardeen’s debut in his father Feroz Khan’s 1998 film 'Prem Aggan' faced harsh criticism and box office failure.
• Producers withdrew from his subsequent projects, forcing him to return advances and pause his career aspirations.
• After the flop, Feroz Khan covered his living expenses for a year before telling him he must fend for himself.
• Fardeen says the pressure of working under his father’s dual roles as parent and iconic director heightened his anxiety on set.
• Years later, he re-emerged in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar', Mudassar Aziz’s 'Khel Khel Mein', and is now featured in 'Housefull 5'.
