During the 60s, Rizvi worked with his father, Baqar Rizvi, who was a director in Karachi Studio working with the likes of Sahiba and Santosh.

Directing career

[edit]

During the 1980s Rizvi started his directing career; his debut movie was Agent 009, an Urdu film. It starred Mussarat Shaheen, Qavi, Aslam Pervez, Naghma and Nasir Chan.[3] He directed Jeetay Hain Shaan Sey in 1996, starring Sahiba Afzal, Asad Bukhari, Nain Tara, Sonia and Abid Kashmiri. It did not succeed in the box office, leaving Rizvi a long gap in his directing career.[4]

In 2011 he released his film Son of Pakistan, on a budget of 40 million Pakistani rupees.[5] It starred Shamil Khan, Sana Nawaz, Meera and Babar Ali.

Rizvi is working on a mega-budget film, Aman ki Asha, based on the idea of promoting peace in South Asia. “My subjects are always message-based and patriotically inclined. That’s why I never compromise on quantity over quality,” Jarar says while chalking out his plan.[6] He changed the name to Deal. Other movies Rizvi has announced are Janbaaz, Insaaf Tay Hun Huway Ga, Dracula in Pakistan and Thor Punjaban.
