Imran to produce grand-dad’s films

A decade after he passed away; Imran Khan has decided to produce his grand-dad Nasir Hussain’s films.
Nasir Hussain ruled the roost between 1948-1996; giving the Hindi film industry truly memorable and breezy cinema. (see box) Nasir’s only son Mansoor; Imran’s maternal uncle, also gave the banner a shot in the arm with his Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988) and Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar (1992).
However Mansoor went into hibernation after the Shah Rukh Khan-Aishwarya Rai film Josh (2000). Today Mansoor lives in Conoor; does farming, runs a hotel and has no plans whatsoever to return to cinema. In fact some of his closest friends say that even when Mansoor visits Mumbai; he wants to leave almost immediately because even seeing the Mumbai skyline reportedly depresses him.
So now it is young Imran’s turn to revive the banner. The light-eyed actor is already in talks with close family and trusted people on this subject and it is only a matter of time before he starts to revive Nasir saab’s legacy.
