Sultan Rahi Biography

  • Pakistani cinema’s king, action hero, the legendary star, gave his 40 years to the Pakistani film industry. By starting his showbiz career in 1959 as a stuntman, junior artist, and then an antihero, he eventually reached the climax of his acting career with Mola Jutt. Sultan with his ostentatious closet consisting of Kurtaa lachaas, a thread with a gold amulet around the neck, and thin mustaches described the looks for an ideal angry man from the rural zones of the 80s and 90s. 
  • At that time Rahi was starred in every Lollywood film and was considered singlehandedly essential for keeping the Wheels of Lollywood rolling. Besides being a successful and talented actor, he was a humble and generous man who always helped his fellow actors, personal staff and technicians. His name is included in Gunnies Book of World Records for acting being starred as hero in a maximum number of films. Every art organization awarded him entertainment awards. Rahi is also the recipient of the Nigar Award for his movies Bashira and Babul.

Sultan date of birth

Sultan was born in 1938 in Rawalpindi, Punjab. He belongs to an Araein family.  

Education of Rahi

  • His primary schooling was completed in Rawalpindi. His family background was religious, and the home atmosphere was Islamic. When he was seven, he used to go  Gwalmandi area’s mosque to learn recitation of Quran under Qari Abdul Sattar’s supervision. His father wanted him to join Pakistan Air Force, but he was more interested in sports and used to participate in School Sports and was an active member of the school’s hockey team. 
  • His father was strict towards his studies and never allowed him to skip classes of the school. But Sultan wasn’t that much interested in education and kept his attention towards sports including hockey, cricket and football and later he joined showbiz and adopted it as his profession and career.

Sultan Rahi Family

  • Sultan’s father, Subedar Major Abdul Majeed, served in British Indian Army and then spent the rest of his life as a retired army officer. Major Abdul had two sons and one daughter, and his elder son died before Sultan’s birth, his 2nd son died when Sultan was four whereas his daughter also passed away after the 2nd son’s demise. Resultantly Sultan became his parent’s blue eye. Sultan married twice. 
  • His first marriage ended after a few months because of financial differences. When he became financially stable, his father selected a girl for him from his family. Allah blessed this couple with five children, three sons, and two daughters one of them, Haider Sultan, also followed his father’s footsteps and joined showbiz.

Showbiz Career

Initial Career

  • He was fond of acting since childhood, and he felt like there is an actor inside him. So, finally, he decided to pursue his passion and fulfill his hidden wish. For this purpose, he went to Lahore with many dreams and ambitions. His luggage consisted of only a pair of clothes and army boots, but his morale was high. He tried to make a place for himself in Al-Hamra Art Theater for stage plays but failed to do so. He continued his efforts and started visits to King Circle Hotel, where actors used to spend their free time. 
  • He also visited Royal Park, which was the hub of Film producers and distributors. But all his efforts went into vain. He didn’t get the attention of producers and directors. During this struggling period, he met other strugglers a music director Kamal Ahmad and Qavi Khan. Kamal and Sultan companions in their struggling journey and visited several filmmakers to get an acting chance. On Qavi’s recommendation, 

Acting Debut

  • Sultan got a small role in a stage play ‘Shabnam Rotii Hai’. On seeing his acting skills and passion, Riaz Bukhari forecasted that Sultan would rank among top actors in Pakistan. Through his friend Changezi he got a role in Ashfaq Malik’s movie Baaghi. It was his acting debut. Baaghi was released on 14th September 1956. The silent and static role which he played in film Baaghi he played the same role in many other movies like Watan, Daku Ki Larki and Hatim etc.
  • In 1960 he uttered some dialogues for ‘Saheli’ film by S.M. Yousaf. He played the role of Shamim Ara’s lawyer, who, after being accused, was presented in the court. He did his first dialogue delivery in a very mature way. He gained confidence through this performance, which aided him in acquiring the same type of minor roles in other films, including ‘Qaidi,’ ‘Gulfaam,’ ‘Aulaad,’ ‘Ajnabi,’ ‘Baaghi Sipahi’ and ‘Maa Ka Payar.’ In 1966, he got a minor role in ‘Aag Ka Dariya’ by Hamayun Mirza, who liked Rahi’s acting and gave him a considerable role in Daaku Ke Larki. At that time, he was also doing stage dramas, but he left performing at the stage after doing the last stage play of Rafi Peerzada.

Breakthrough

  • In 1968, Rahi played a side villain character in a Punjab film Jumaa Janj Naal. The film flopped, but Rahi, through this role, got acknowledged. Filmmakers liked his acting. It was in the same year that he was seen as a conventional villain in the film ‘Badla.’ His facial expressions, body gestures, and high pitch dialogue delivery showed his potential as a villain. Resultantly film producers started casting him as a villain in films like ‘Aik Se Maa,’ ‘Anwara,’ ‘Dunya Matlb Di,’ etc. He appeared as the hero in his 1st Urdu film ‘Zindagi Kay Melay’ and acted very well as a romanticist hero with Aaliya and Zamurad. 
  • Aslam Dar starred Sultan in Bashira for the lead role, and this, fortunately, changed his status from extra to main lead after the struggle of 16 years. After this project, he continued to touch the heights of his film career. In 1975 director Hassan directed film ‘Wehshi Jatt’ based upon the story of Gandaasa and portrayed Sultan as a wild, desolate, angry and illiterate man. His character clicked viewers by giving them the feeling that it’s the story of Rahi himself depicting his deprivations. 
  • In ‘Mola Jatt’ 1979, he played the role of Mola Jatt, which was totally opposite to his role in Wehshi Jatt. Rahi portrayed the role of an arbitrator who takes up arms to implement justice. He delivered a dialogue “Mola Nu Mola Na Maray Tu Mola Nahe Marda” in this film, and this dialogue and his acting made him a legendary actor. Mola Jatt changed the trend and style of Punjabi cinema in Pakistan. Mola Jatt’s success led Sultan to create many records and persisted this success until the end of his life.

Sultan Rahi Death

On 9th January 1996, Rahi was coming back from Islamabad at late night when near Samnabaad Chungi car’s tire deflated. Some men took advantage of desolation and darkness and fired him. He got severely injured and was taken to Gujranwala’s DHQ hospital, where his soul departed.
