Pakistan’s film industry has produced blockbusters in all languages. After the industry matured, Pakistan made its name internationally and had superstars by the dozens. By late ’60s, Urdu films had Waheed Murad, Muhammad Ali, Nadeem and Kamal, while Punjabi films had Allauddin, Akmal, Habib and Kaifee who were ‘heroes’ of the day.
Most of them were able to ‘produce’ blockbusters either in Urdu or Punjabi. But there was only one actor and producer who was successful in both Urdu and Punjabi films. Like a true ‘hero’, Ejaz Durrani excelled in acting as well as production.
