Many actors and actresses in Bollywood come from a background of famous stars. From the Kapoor family to the Khans there are many newcomer actors and actresses who have ventured into the industry with families full of stars. Today we will discuss one such actor who is Aamir Khans brother. Despite having a brother who is known as the perfectionist of the industry this man couldnt match his brothers stardom. If you are wondering who he is then let us tell you—we are talking about Faisal Khan son of renowned director and producer Tahir Hussain and younger brother of Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan.
Who is Aamir Khans Younger Brother?
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).
Faisals 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.
Faisals 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 Faisals 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.
