Adil Murad

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]

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.[3] 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.[4][5] 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.[6] 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.[7][8]

Adil is married to the tennis player Marrium Raheem and they have two children.[9][10][11]
