Adil Murad is a Pakistani film producer and actor in films, television serials and telefilms. He is the son of actor Waheed Murad.[1]

Early life

[edit]

Adil's grandfather, Nisar Murad, was a renowned film distributor from Sialkot in Punjab.[2] The Murads claimed to have Turkish ancestry. One of their ancestors, Murat, was a soldier of Ottoman-origin serving in the Mughal army, who settled in Punjab.[2]

Career

[edit]

In the 1980s, Adil made his debut as a child actor and appeared in his father's film Hero which was released in 1985. The film, which his father also wrote, was a silver jubilee hit at the box office. After this success, he continued to work on more films. He made his acting debut in the Pakistani Urdu colour film Raja Sahib in 1996. Although the film didn't do well at the box office due to weak direction and a poorly developed storyline, his performance received highly positive feedback.[3] Since then, he has been working in tele-films as an actor and as producer. Later, he was cast by Shoaib Mansoor in his telefilm Streets of Karachi, which was based on the life of a couple in Karachi and the ups and downs of the city.[4] In 2016, the ARY Film Awards presented the Special Recognition Award to Adil on behalf of his father, Waheed Murad, for his inspirational work in the film industry.[5][6]

Personal life

[edit]

Adil is married to the tennis player Marrium Raheem and they have two children.[7][8]
