Zayed Khan shares he and Farah Khan had differences
Zayed Khan, known for his candid nature, recently shared a memorable anecdote from his early days in Bollywood, highlighting an incident involving renowned choreographer and filmmaker Farah Khan on the set of a film.
Zayed Khan reminisced about shooting under challenging conditions
During a recent interview, Zayed Khan reminisced about shooting under challenging conditions, particularly recalling a moment when they were filming at a high altitude. He described the difficulties faced due to the physical demands of shooting on 400 feet of film, a stark contrast to today’s digital era where multiple takes are more easily achievable. The strict discipline on set meant each take had to count, adding to the pressure of the shoot.
One incident stood out vividly in Khan’s memory. He recounted a scene where the camera was panning towards him after capturing Amrita Rao, and amidst the anticipation and tension on set, a dancer next to him collapsed from exhaustion. Khan found himself in a dilemma, unsure of how to proceed with the scene while someone needed assistance. In a bold move, he called for a “Cut,” halting the shoot to address the unfolding situation. Farah Khan’s reaction was immediate and intense. Zayed Khan recalled her vehement response, including strong words and even a thrown slipper, highlighting her passion for maintaining control over her sets. Khan defended his decision, explaining that he couldn’t continue with the scene while someone was in distress, a stance that eventually led to the dancer being attended to and the scene re-shot successfully.
Despite the intense moment, Zayed Khan admired Farah Khan’s dedication to her craft and the discipline she instilled on set. He acknowledged the incident as a learning experience, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing human well-being amidst the pressures of filmmaking. Zayed Khan, who has been away from the spotlight for some time, is gearing up for a comeback with his upcoming project titled The Film That Never Was. Zayed Khan return to films marks a new chapter in his career, fueled by his passion for storytelling and a renewed enthusiasm for cinema.
