Farooq Sheikh remembered on his birth anniversary – Firstpost
FirstpostWhen I first met Farooq Sheikh, he was shooting for a serial Srikant in Film City. So, I think the credit for introducing Lucknow to Farooq goes to me.” In Gaman the journey of Ghulam Hussain from his village in Uttar Pradesh could be the journey of anyone who comes to the city of Dreams laden with only an ambiguous optimism. The director surrounds Farooq’s forlorn persona in the uncaring metropolis with real-life taxi drivers in Mumbai who form a kind of core sena for the plot’s main course. Farooq would say, ‘If Naseer and I are in a shot then it would be Naseer’s back to the camera.’ To this Naseer would retort, ‘Yes, of course, because my back is more expressive than your face.’ Farooq, recall friends, was very religious. I remember Farooque telling me his father had died suddenly of a heart attack at the Mumbai airport.” Deepti Naval used to tease Farooq that in Katha he played his real self.
