Career so far
Sarmad Khoosat directed Humsafar, then spent the following decade making sure he would never be defined by it alone: the film Manto, theatre work, acting in both comedies and tragedies, and a willingness to work at the industry's edges. He is the rare director who is also a public intellectual of the medium.
