Rauf Khalid

Abdul Rauf Khalid (Urdu: عبدالرؤف خالد; 19 December 1957 – 24 November 2011) was a Pakistani actor, filmmaker, screenwriter, and artist.

Rauf Khalid, while still a college student, began writing for Radio Pakistan.

An ex-serviceman and bureaucrat, he worked in films and television plays after attending Islamia College University, Peshawar. In 1989, he wrote and partially directed Madaar, a seven-episode serial exposing drug trafficking, telecast from Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV) - Quetta Center.

In 1991, he wrote Guest House (TV series), a 52-episode comedy series.

In 1995, Rauf Khalid directed Angar Wadi, a 15-episode serial for which he was an actor and a producer apart from writing it. In 1998, Khalid made Laag, a 27-episode serial (he wrote, directed, produced, and acted in it). In 2003, Rauf Khalid released Laaj, his debut film. Although it reportedly did poorly at the box office, it won 12 Bolan Awards, 14 Graduate Awards, 4 National Film Awards, and the Lux Style Awards.

In 2007, Rauf Khalid established a College of TV and Film Direction in Lok Virsa, Shakarparian, Islamabad. He was the chairman of the National Institute of Cultural Studies, Islamabad. In 2008, Khalid made his third television serial (Mishaal), for which he served as writer, director and producer, which was telecast by national TV network PTV Home on Tuesday evenings in Pakistan.

His paintings have been exhibited in the World Fine Art Gallery, New York City and the Omma Art Gallery in Crete, Greece.
