I was watching Umer Sharif’s famous stage play and remembered some distinguished actors like Nirala and Ibrahim Nafees. I know that Nirala passed away in 89. Any of you have info on Ibrahim Nafees. I think I read his interview somewhere recently. Has he retired or still working? Any info on his background and career would be most welcome.
Hers is a picture of him for those who don’t recognise him
Ibrahim Nafees has been an icon at the Radio Pakistan and later of Karachi's upcoming stage industry when he did quite many stage plays at the KATRAK, KHALIQDINA and THEOSIPHICAL halls....in late 50's.
His did quite many movies at Karachi and Lahore..his most popular and famous being HEERA AUR PATTHAR of Waheed Murad at Karachi.
PTV also...but not adequately, capitalized on his talents when he did a good role of Hadi Bhai friend in Bajya's AFSHAN.
Ibrahim bhai has been quite proactive in ARTS COUNCIL OF PAKISTAN at Karachi alongside Yawar Mehdi and others...
He has not been upto mark on health yet he is robust and does socialize where-ever he can afford.
By age...he must be nearing his 80's now...or may be he is 80+.
