Yusuf Khan (actor)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yusuff Abousher (1 May 1940 – 1985) was an Egyptian actor based in India who worked in Hindi-language films. Although Khan acted in 35 films and remained popular as a rather sympathetic villain through the 1970s and 1980s with films like Muqaddar Ka Sikandar (1978) and Disco Dancer (1982), he is best remembered for his role as Zebisko, Parveen Babi's bodyguard in Manmohan Desai's film Amar Akbar Anthony (1977).

Yusuf Khan was born in Egypt as Yousuff Abousher. He came to Bombay, India, and became a Bollywood actor in the late 1960s.

He is the father of Bollywood and television actor Faraaz Khan. He died in Hyderabad in 1985 from a brain hemorrhage. [1][2]
