Short Bio
Naseeruddin Shah is a descendant of the 19th-century Afghan warlord Jan Fishan Khan, but that is not exactly his claim to international fame. Not many actors have been appreciated the way Naseer has, for his intense on-screen portrayals over the years. Having debuted on screen in 1975 with Shyam Benegal's 'Nishaant', Naseer became one of the most important actors of the Indian parallel cinema with movies such as 'Sparsh', 'Mirch Masala', 'Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyon Ata Hai', 'Trikal', 'Bhavni Bhavai', 'Junoon', 'Mandi', 'Mohan Joshi Hazir Ho!', 'Paar' and 'Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron'. He became active in mainstream Bollywood with the 1980 film 'Hum Paanch'. He acted in several multi-starrer movies such as 'Tridev' (1989),'Vishwatma' (1992) and 'Mohra' (1994). Naseer made his Pakistani film debut in the critically-acclaimed and controversial film 'Khuda Ke Liye', by Shoaib Mansoor. In this decade, he has been part of many acclaimed movies such as 'Hey Ram', 'Monsoon Wedding', 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen', 'Maqbool', 'Krrish', 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na' and 'A Wednesday'.
