Filmmaker Faruk Kabir has made a name for himself with his works such as the Khuda Haafiz franchise and Allah Ke Banday. Known for telling intense and gritty stories, he is now in the news for his most recent series, Salakaar. But this talent got its shot in the industry due to a late legend, filmmaker Yash Johar. Faruk Kabir is currently taking in all the praises for Salakaar. The filmmaker's dad, NS Kabir, was a close friend of Karan Johar's father, Yash Johar. And it was the filmmaker who saw the potential in Faruk and gave him his first break.
