‘Industry has not been kind to me’- Naseer Khan
August 4th, 2009 - 6:44 pm ICT by Sampurn Wire“I will never venture into action flicks again,” says newly turned producer-actor Naseer Khan. Blind in real life and miraculous on-screen with his scary stunts, Naseer Khan is stepping into B-Town with an action-thriller Shadow. On asking why this sudden disliking towards a particular genre, he explains, “Shadow has some terrific stunts featured on me. However, enacting those stunts was certainly not a cakewalk. I would never take a retake for I would be so terrified with every new stunt, I had to attempt harder every time. In future, I would like to stick to romantic–comedies considering the unfavorable limitations of my body.”
His decision however does not make his forthcoming movie a regretful experience. He explains, “Shadow is very close to my heart and I had a blast attempting each stunt that came my way and enjoyed delivering some fantastic dialogues.” Naseer can’t withhold from raving about the various scary stunts he attempted. He goes on to add, “I can’t forget one shot where I was to walk amongst these thankfully tummy-filled lions and director Rohit Nayyar who was guiding my way forgot to give me directions and I bumped in one of the lions. I was shit scared.”
Naseer owns a chain of industries like leather etc. That makes him categorize under few fortunate newcomers who despite a negative response from the industry decided to go ahead with his dreams to make them true. “Industry has not been encouraging enough to support my dreams be the production banners or music or distribution companies. So, I decided to open all the three arenas under my banner.”
“Where there is a will, there is a way’ a saying that goes hand-in-hand with the never-say-die attitude of Naseer Khan. His closest venture Shadow is slated to release on August 21 this year.
