Abbas Ali Moghul, son of the legendary Habib, basically grew up on film sets. His first gig? Playing young Ranjeet in 36 Ghante back in ’74, when most kids his age were probably chasing kites or something. By 1980, he’d already switched gears, diving headfirst into the wild, bruising world of Bollywood stunts—flipping cars, taking punches, doubling for the stars, the whole nine yards. Not just content being tossed around, he started learning the ropes as an assistant action director too. Fast forward to ’92, and he’s finally calling the shots as an action director with Watan, though his first release ended up being Madhosh, thanks to classic Bollywood scheduling chaos. The man’s worked on over 600 projects—yeah, six hundred. That’s not a typo. And he’s not slowing down. His name pops up all over the place, especially when folks talk about nail-biting action scenes in blockbusters like Ghulam, Sarfarosh, Dushman, Sangharsh, Josh, Khiladi 420, and a laundry list of others. He snagged both the Filmfare and Screen Awards for Awara Pagal Deewana’s insane action, so clearly, he’s doing something right. But here’s the twist—Abbas wasn’t just behind the camera. He showed up onscreen too, rubbing shoulders with the big names in films like Gandhi, Beta, Judwaa, Sarfarosh, Welcome, and a stack more. Four decades in, and the guy’s still out there, blowing stuff up and making sure every punch looks real enough to make you wince.
Fardeen Khan might get all the press these days, but let’s not forget Feroz Khan—yeah, the son of the legendary Habib. This guy was basically Bollywood’s definition of swagger back in the day. He lit up the screen in Dharmatma, which honestly was India’s answer to The Godfather (minus Marlon Brando mumbling into a cat, obviously). Feroz Khan brought this raw, gritty energy, made the whole gangster vibe look cool way before it went mainstream. And then, Sholay—if you haven’t at least heard of Sholay, are you even watching Bollywood? Feroz wasn’t the lead, but he left a mark, no question. He had this knack for stealing scenes, even when sharing space with giants like Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra. The guy had style, attitude, and a screen presence that’s hard to fake. Honestly, Bollywood just hits different when you’ve got someone like Feroz Khan chewing up the scenery.
