Feroz Khan was an Indian actor, film editor, producer and director in the Hindi film industry.

Apart from acting this talented artiste has also edited, produced, written, & directed movies. His latest ‘Kurbani’ is currently under production.

Feroz Khan appeared in over 50 films in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, and became one of India’s best-loved heroes with his role in the 1980 hit film Qurbani, which he also directed.

Feroz Khan likes sports-car races and has included this sport in Apradh and then again in Janasheen. He prefers his character name to be either Rajesh or Rakesh. He is a worshipper of Bhagwan Shri Sai Baba and always wears a gold ring on his finger and has a picture close to him. Sai Baba is revered and worshiped by Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, and Hindus in India.

After his schooling in Bangalore, he arrived in Mumbai where he made his debut as second lead in Didi in 1960. His career initially started as a hero in ‘Didi’, then he signed up for villain roles, and then made a comeback as a hero again.

Feroz Khan’s first big hit was in 1965, with Phani Majumdar’s Oonche Log, where he was pitted against screen idols Raaj Kumar and Ashok Kumar; he gave a notable sensitive performance.

Feroz Khan appeared in an English-language film titled Tarzan Goes to India opposite Simi Garewal

Feroz Khan turned into a successful producer and director in 1971 so as to improve his career opportunities as a leading man with his first directorial film Apradh, which was the first Indian movie showing auto racing in Germany; Mumtaaz was his co-star.

He produced, directed, and starred in the 1975 film Dharmatma, which was the first Indian film to be shot in Afghanistan and was also his first blockbuster hit as producer, director, and star and marked appearance of actress Hema Malini in a glamorous avatar. This movie was inspired by the Hollywood film The Godfather.

Throughout the late 1970s and 1980s, he was a leading Bollywood star, directing and starring in many of his films. He also starred in the Punjabi film Bhagat Dhanna Jat

Feroz Khan got married to Sundari in 1965 and they became proud parents of Laila and Fardeen. Despite objections raised by an Islamic Moulvi, Feroz and Sanjay got their children married to non-Islamic families. Laila was married to Rajpal, while Fardeen married Natasha Madhwani, the daughter of Mayur and former Bollywood hottie Mumtaz. Sundari and Feroz have been divorced since 1985.

He launched his son Fardeen Khan’s career with the 1998 film Prem Aggan, which, however, was a box-office bomb. In 2003, he made his acting comeback as well as produced and directed Janasheen, which also starred his son Fardeen. Feroz has kept away from controversies, though he did get himself banned by the conservative Pakistani government.

Feroz Khan always used performing animals in his films—a chimpanzee and lion were used in Janasheen—but People for Animals (PFA) Haryana chairman Naresh Kadyan moved a complaint in the court of law at Faridabad for animal cruelty and legal action as per law against the producer, director, and actor.

For his flamboyant style, with cowboyish swagger and cigar toting persona which revolutionised the style quotient of the otherwise conventional Bollywood hero, he is known as the Clint Eastwood of the East and a style icon in the industry.
