An ardent film
follower since his adolescence, he was the one who set the silver screen ablaze
by showcasing Raj Kumar, Rajesh Khanna and Jeetendra for the first time in his
multi starrer ‘Dharam Kanta’. Having assisted K. Asif in his magnum opus
‘Mughal-E-Azam’ when he presented to the world, ‘Heera’ as his
directorial debut, magazines extolled his endeavor by stating ‘Heera begets
diamond’. And that cordial reception served as a catalyst for this man to make
the world acknowledge the interminable potentials lurking within him. He
shimmered with success with ‘Ganga Ki Saugandh’ and ‘Daata’ which went on to be
a Golden Jubilee. If you haven’t been able to surmise his name as yet, then
either you know too much to remember or you know too little to relate to!
Sultan Ahmed was his name and film making was his game.
Having left for his
journey to heavenly abode, today Sultan Ahmed is survived by wife Farrah Sultan
Ahmed and two kids Ali Akbar and Ali Abbas. He is also remembered for the
epoch-making deeds that he had accomplished during his 4 year stint as the
President of the Indian Motion Pictures Producers Association (IMPPA). It was
under his presidency that IMPPA has propounded the law of barring a producer to
sign any actor involved in more than 12 films at a time. As the Chairman of
Film Makers Combine, he had appealed to the Uttar Pradesh government and got the
entertainment tax subsidized to 100% from 125%. Not that he boasted about his
achievements. Infact, he always quoted, “Praising ones ownself is a very subtle
way of criticizing others.” Such unobtrusive modesty dimensionalised his
disposition.
So what does his begum
has to say after being bereft of the much revered Sultan, “It’s an
irreconcilable loss to our family and the industry. Though not hyped, his work,
on and off screen, has been universally accepted as a paragon of prolific art
and divine instincts. He has given a lot to the industry and he considered
himself nepotistic ally fortunate to be amongst the chosen few to do so.” And
why shouldn’t he consider so? After all, he encashed a plethora of admiration
and adulation from the masses and the classes; which generally is a rarely
fulfilled desire.
The brave and dynamic
lady Farrah Sultan Ahmed today with her kids Ali Abbas and Ali Akbar celebrates
73rd birthday of Sultan Ahmed. Both the kids have planned the
revival of Sultan Production.They have decided to celebrate Independence
Fashion Day [IFD] with the kids of NGO,”Umeed.” Under their sisterly company,
”Think Big.” IFD will organize many such shows all over the World and whatever
money is earned will go towards the welfare of the children.
“It’s a tribute
to Jibloo (Sultan Ahmed). He always wanted me and my kids to carry forward the
legacy of film making. My kids have decided to organize a fashion Show for the
kids of Umeed. These kids will be taking back home the clothes they wear while
walking the ramp. This is like dreams come true for Sultan Saab and me.” says
Farrah
Mrs.Sultan Ahmed is
like the one man army of Sultan Productions, She is extremely efficient and
earnest as a producer. From the spots to the director, each one is taken care
of. She always says, “No work can be completed without team work.” Seems like
the Begum is all game to follow her Sultan’s steps and stage a one woman show.
But God has given her two strong soldiers Abbas and Akbar who shield her at
every minute. The kids are all set to revive their legacy of film making by
amalgamating it with the Fashion arena.
