Asif Azim, the father of Mughal Azam, is a proud personality and no event is held in his memory in his birthplace Etawah, after which for the last seven years, efforts have been made to cherish his memories. To preserve and preserve the foundation of K Asif Chambal Film International was laid and this event has become an annual extravaganza where eminent art personalities come every year. We are demanding from our governments that there are film schools in east and west but there is no government film institute in central India and the government should set up a national level film school in Etawah in the name of K Asif.

Naushad Hussain, who retired in the year 2014 from Etawah District Panchayat Department, says that K. Asif Saheb is the pride of Etawah. After the success of Phool in 1945, Mughal-e-Azam, which came in 1960, gave Asif’s name a name. The film did that feat like no one is in a position to forget. As soon as Mughal-e-Azam was released, there was a stir in India. All Bollywood records were broken. Mughal Azam was young even at that time and will remain young even after 100 years, but the regret is that we have forgotten that pride of Etawah. should go.

Citing the conversation with his elders, Azhar Fayaz of Katra Purdal Khan tells that K Asif was born in Katra Purdal Khan of Etawah. Educated and grew up in Islamia College, Etawah. In the narrow streets of Katra Purdal Kha, he played and jumped fiercely. The people of Etawah feel proud on the pretext of K Ashiq, they say that K Asif made such a big film named Mughal Azam, whose country has a special place in the world, so they can never forget K Asif.

Mohammad Altaf, manager of Islamia Inter College, says that today K Asif’s name is taken with great enthusiasm not only in India but in the whole world. A film like Mughal-e-Azam made by him, Koi Doosri has neither been made till date nor seems to be being made. All this can be called the charisma of nature. After the production of the film Mughal-e-Azam, K. Asif’s name was registered in the honors board of the school. Of. Along with the name of Asif, the name of Islamia College is also taken, it is a matter of great pride for the school.
