SUDHIR

Nine days and I go to Pakistan. Just trying to meet with all of my friends before I go away. As each day passes I get more and more excited. I just hope it doesn't pass too quickly by.
Work is very slow now. Really trying to get the Missing Soldier Campaign off the ground and running. We've had great buy-in from the community, I cannot explain how wonderful it's been.
In the meantime, I'm just reading through the Lonely Planet's guide to Pakistan the Friend got me (amongst many other goodies) for my bday.
Anyway, this post is more about SUDHIR who was Pakistan's first super star action film hero. He had a long film career of 38 years and appeared mainly in main roles in films. His first film was before partition, New Hindustan Film's released Farz was directed by Narijan and the heroine was Ragni. He appeared in a total number of 173 films, 70 Urdu, 101 Punjabi, one Pashto and one Indian (or before partition) film. Sudhir faught a real battle with a tiger in his own produced film Sahil in 1960.
