Career[edit | edit source]
Firose Khan, who was originally a Malayali from Kerala, received the opportunity to work in the Malayalam film Charithram (1989) as a junior artist and shot for a deleted scene in which he had to jump in a swimming pool at the VGP Universal Kingdom but endured a stomach injury. He worked as an assistant director to Thangar Bachan, Arun Pandian and Salangai Durai for Kathavarayan (2008). He was to work as a hero for the film Aasaiyila Paathi Katti but the film was dropped.[1]
He made his lead acting debut in Thambi Arjuna (2010) in which he played Ramana's brother.[2] A critic noted that "He fits in comfortably, and plays it like a seasoned veteran".[3][4] He made his directorial debut through Pasakkara Nanbargal (2011) starring his son Yuvan.[5][6][7] The film was based on kickboxing and Firose Khan played a coach in the film. A critic wrote, "The director has done his homework on the sport. It’s an exciting build-up to the finish, with a twist in the end".[8] He played a negative role in Venmani (2011) and the unreleased Om co-starring Arjun before directing and co-starring in Keeripulla (2013), marking his second collaboration with Yuvan.[9][1] Regarding the film, one critic noted, "Firose has concentrated on keeping the momentum going, but the film could have done with a more balanced, coherent screenplay" whilst another felt that "Had the director given the story some thought, ‘Keeripulla’ would have not been as forgettable as it has turned out to be".[10][11]
