Director Yasir Nawaz, renowned for his hit dramas like Chup Raho and films such as Wrong No. and Wrong No.2, recently stirred attention with his comments about actor Feroze Khan.
In an appearance on Ushna Shah’s talk show After Hours, Yasir discussed his role in Feroze’s rise to stardom and shared insights into the entertainment industry.
During the candid conversation, Yasir confidently claimed, “I launched Feroze Khan’s career,” asserting that he deserves credit for bringing the actor into the spotlight. He revealed that it was his decision to cast Feroze in the 2014 drama Chup Raho, where Feroze starred alongside Sajal Aly.
Yasir further explained that Feroze was recommended to him when he was still a VJ and had no acting experience. Despite this, Yasir saw potential in him and took the risk. “I am the one who gave the world a star,” he asserted.
While Yasir’s comments highlight his confidence in discovering talent, it’s unclear how Feroze Khan will respond.
Back in 2021, Yasir Nawaz faced criticism for publicly criticizing actor Alizeh Shah, a former TikTok star, during another talk show appearance. Yasir and his wife Nida shared that working with Alizeh on a project had been difficult due to a lack of chemistry and professionalism. Feroze, however, defended Alizeh on social media, stating, “Grown artists should not belittle a newcomer like this,” suggesting a difference of opinion between him and Yasir. This raised questions about Feroze’s reaction to Yasir’s latest statement.
