New Delhi: Farah Khan’s last film as a director was ‘Happy New Year’, which was released in 2014. The film was a superhit, but Farah Khan has not directed any film since then. Farah Khan had narrated an incident related to the casting of ‘Happy New Year’ which was released 10 years ago. The director had revealed that he had rejected a huge offer from a big filmmaker, who was ready to give him Rs 10 crore for casting his son in the film ‘Happy New Year’. The choreographer had decided to cast Vivaan Shah, son of Naseeruddin Shah and Ratna Pathak Shah, instead of the producer’s son.
Farah Khan had said in a previous interview to comedian-writer Zakir Khan, ‘You will not believe it, but at the time of Happy New Year, a producer had offered me Rs 10 crore to cast his son. Being the ‘Queen of Jhansi’ I said – I will never do this. I will not do injustice to the film. What if Shahrukh comes to know that I have taken Rs 10 crore to cast him in the film? Never, I will not do that. I cast Vivaan Shah because I felt he was the right person for the character and the film.
The film ‘Happy New Year’ was released in 2014.
Farah Khan has directed 4 films
Shahrukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood, Vivaan Shah and Boman Irani acted in Farah Khan’s film ‘Happy New Year’. The action-comedy became one of the highest-grossing films of the year. This film is Farah Khan’s last film as a director. Farah Khan has directed four films in her career.
