Another Khan, this brother of Aamir made his debut under Vikram Bhatt's direction in Madhosh.

The year was 1994 and Faisal followed it up with a disappearing act. He appeared in Dharmesh Darshan's Mela (2000) with Aamir, but the film was a no show. Audiences rejected the film outright and it is possibly the worst film Aamir has ever done.

Faisal did try his luck with lesser-known films like Basti later, but those failed too.
