Talk to Mustafa Qureshi and you fail to forget that he was once the most famous villain of Pakistani cinema. Hailing from the land of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar, Sehwan, he was born in 1935, and turned 65 this year.

He has been associated with films for the last 35 years. Having worked in radio Pakistan, Hyderabad, in the 60s he appeared in his first film, Lakon Mein Aik, as a Hindu villain living on the other side of the border.

It was a box-office hit. During this conversation he continued to light one cigarette after another. It seems he hasn’t read much articles on the hazards of chain smoking.

He hasn’t told us how he got into the film industry, so the next pertinent question is just that. “I had never thought of films as a career and wanted to join the armed forces.

When our soldiers were fighting the enemy, I was doing my bit in a Sindhi program Jaam-e-Jaam as a war propaganda in charge at radio Pakistan. Film star Saqi, who was a friend of mine, invited me to Lahore.

On his invitation I went there, where he introduced me to film director Raza Mir. That is how I came in the film world.”
