Hey Guys,
I am new to Paklinks. I have been browsing this forum for a while now and found it to be absolutely informative and interesting... In particular Raju Uncle's presence has been much inspiring for me. Given that he is a full time banker, his devoting time to responding here and his interest in answering queries is exemplary.
I suggest that we put actors in three categories if possible...
The pioneers of acting in Pakistan (those who have been acting since inceptionat PTV... If I may suggest a few names:
- Mahmood Ali (his recent passing away has been much under-reported given his high credntials.
- Subhani Ba younus
- Qazi Wajid (these three, I think should feature in any list)
- Shakeel
- Ibraheem Nafees (does anyone remember him?)
- Hameed Wain
- Imtiaz Ahmed (of Uncle Urfi fame)
- Qavi Khan
- Munawar Saeed
- Talat Hussain
- Rizwan Wasti (don't know where to put him really)
There are two more people I don't know the names of. Maybe Raju uncle can help. One is the actor who played Asif Raza Mir's father in Tanhaiyan and the other played the mustasched rich old man in long play 'Baarish' which was aired by PTV Karachi in the 70s.
Maybe we can compile another list of artists who started in late 70s or 80s like
- Abid Ali
- Saleem Nasir
- Rahat kazmi
- Moin Akhtar
- Shafi Muhammad Shah
- Behroz Sabzwari
- Javed Sheikh
- Asif Raza Mir
- Akbr Subhani
- Qurban Jilani
- Noor Muhammad Lashari (of Dasht Fame)
- Jamshed Ansari
- Mahmood Aslam
- Usman Pirzada
- Rizwan Wasti (don't know where to put him really)
- Sultan Khoosat
- Ali Ijaz
- Jameel Fakhri (Inspector in Andhera Ujala)
...and the list goes on
Obviously you can put some of the names above in the first list....
And then maybe the comparatively newbies like:
Sajid Hassan, Humayun Saeed, M Warsi, Shabbir Jaan, Sohail Asghar, Nauman Ijaz, Firdous Jamal, Waseen Abbas, etc.
- Probably...IMTIAZ (who played Tahira Wasti's dad in AFSHAN...) but needs to be confirmed...(will revert with actual name..soon)
- Waseem Abbas s/o Inayat Hussain Bhatti...is not a newbie..he is as old as mas'ala'e'kashmir:)
