The hour-long CD will be interspersed with vignettes from Farooque Shaikh's films.
On Tuesday, January 28, it will be a month since the death of Shaikh Sahab.
"We will produce the CD within a fortnight and distribute it among members of the film industry and close friends. We are even thinking of approaching television channels to broadcast it. Besides the directors' narration, we will insert clips and songs from Farooque Shaikh's pictures," said Ashoke Pandit, president of the Indian Film and Television Directors' Association (IFTDA).
The event was organized at Bhavan's College in Andheri on January 16.
IFTDA had invited 11 directors including MS Sathyu ('Garm Hawa'), Muzaffar Ali ('Gaman', 'Umrao Jaan', 'Anjuman'), Raman Kumar ('Saath Saath') and Pankuj Parashar ('Ab Ayega Maza', 'Peechha Karro') to recall the life and times of Farooque Shaikh. His co-star in nine pictures Deepti Naval and writer Javed Siddiqi relived their decades-long friendship as well.
Shaikh Sahab's daughters Shaista and Sanaa, his sister, as well as a few family members attended the two-hour event.
Large photographs of him wearing the classic black sherwani of 'Tumhari Amrita' were pasted at the entrance of the hall. Below the speakers' podium there was a blow-up of the actor with his head bent, clutching a book on Jagjit Singh.
Sepakers remembered Farooque Shaikh and showered praise on him. Be it the young brigade of Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan ('Lahore'), Shona Urvashi ('Saas Bahu Aur Sensex'), Sanjay Tripathi ('Club 60') Avinash Singh ('Listen Amaya') and Suhail Tatari ('Kashmeer'), or the veterans of the '70s and '80s, each director praised Shaikh's boundless generosity and concern for the film unit.
The actor's fondness for serious reading and his grasp over national and global affairs did not escape his colleagues' attention. His mastery over Urdu and English blessed him with such eloquence that they never heard an indelicate word slip from his lips.
By all accounts Farooque Shaikh was a namazi whose conduct in daily life conformed to the true spirit of Islam. His principled stand against alcohol often prompted friends to tease him in a good-natured manner. But once they regained sobriety they acknowledged that he stood head and shoulders above the rest in his ability to resist temptation.
Whether it was a high-profile film premiere or a cosy interview with Vividh Bharati, he travelled by autorickshaw or taxi and chose from his wardrobe of embroidered white kurta-pyjamas. Money is something one utilises not worships he said, and lived by the maxim.
Shaikh Sahab picked one film a year based on the script and the sensibility of the director. He reportedly declined lucrative offers to judge reality TV shows.
Ashoke Pandit said that IFTDA would continue to organize similar gatherings to honour not only those artistes who have passed on but indeed living legends. "We mourn great actors and directors after they are no more but seldom acknowledge those who are still present among us," he said.
