With brilliant character actors of the level of Talish, Alauddin, Zeenat Begum, Kumar and Bibbo, Pakistan were fast coming up as a cinematic entity in the 1950s. After 1970s, the situation deteriorated, because most of these artistes had either died or become too old to act. One of those stalwarts, who made their mark very early after the Partition, was Ali Mir Kumar, a man now distinctly known to the enthusiasts of the films for his vital performance in film Tauba. Kumar belonged to UP India, with his family amongst the most respected Lucknow families of the Syed’s. His real name was Syed Ali Hasan Zaidi, but was lovingly called Mir Mujjan in the family. He started his career in films from New Theatres, Calcutta. His first two movies were Subah Ka Tara and Zinda Lash, in 1932. In these films, he was playing what is called a side role, while the hero in both of them was Saigal, with Rattan Bai. In his third film, Pooran Bhagat, which also had Saigal, Ali Mir became popularly known as Kumar. A personable man, Kumar soon made his presence felt, and was soon being considered as a stylish artiste. He was considered the most well dressed and polished person in the Indian industry. His other films in India were Yahudi Kee Larki, Watan, Suhag, Shehr Ka Jadoo, Maa Ka Pyar, Mughal-e-Azam, Nek Parveen and many others. His acting and dialogue delivery had an individual class, which is evident in many films, including Kamal Amrohi’s Mahal, where as the father of the accused, he implores the barrister to advocate his case well. Similarly, in Tauba, when he realizes that he has wasted his life in drinking, the face registers such sadness that is only brought on by the greatest artistes of their times. As Haji Sahab in Nek Parveen, and as Madhubala’s father in film Tarana, Kumar also impressed. Kumar married a very well known actress of her days, Pramella, and both of them established their own film making house, called Silver House, making films like Naseeb, Jhankar, Barey Nawab Sahab and Devar. His daughter from Pramella was Naqi Jahan, who was a most stunning beauty, and later participated in a Miss India contest.
In 1963, Kumar migrated to Pakistan, and started to work in Pakistani films without any delay. His son, S. A. Hafiz, who made Tauba, later became one of the best and well known directors of the country. Kamal and Zeba played the lead in Tauba, which became a grand success. Kumar performed so brilliantly that the young generation of those times also discovered his potential. In the film, Kumar is shown to be a person belonging to a good family, whose obsession with wine lands him into trouble, and he throws away, a lot of his fortune in pursuance of the drink. But, at the climax, losing all he has, he travels to Data Darbar and falls down at the steps. He wants to repent for his sins, and the Qawwali that follows Na milta agar yeh tauba ka sahara to hum kahan jatay, sung so famously by Saleem Raza, Munir Hussain, Irene Panreen and others, was the highlight of the film. There was a famous legend built around that Qawwali that Kumar was also a drunkard in real life, and having acted in the climax scene, he got so affected that he actually swore off sharab! It is noted by film critics that Qawwali was first used in Pakistan, as a potent climactic element, in Tauba. A. Hameed, who was one of the most versatile music directors of Pakistan, gave super hit songs in the film, including this fine Qawwali in 1964.
Kumar worked in quite a few Pakistani films, including Head Constable, Azad, Shabnam, Naela, Saiqa, Sajda (his own film), Hum Dono, Nadya Ke Paar, Ik Musaflr Ik Hasina, Baalam etc. Kumar died in 1982, while his son, S. A Hafiz had gone and settled in America, and died there. Two fine cameramen of the industry, Azhar Zaidi and Muzaffar Zaidi were Kumar’s nephews, while PTV’s famous makeup artiste, Lily Raza is his niece.

What casting directors really want
Had a shoot with young actor Jordan Billings.
We met up in his home town of Newton Le Willows. He travelled down from his acting studies at Preston University.
Casting directors and agents had given Jordan advice on the images required for professional actors' listings on Spotlight, Starnow and for casting in general. They want clean, professional headshots, so casting directors know what they're getting.
With the mobile studio set up, we captured a good range of images, giving Jordan plenty to choose from.
Jordan is an absolute gentleman and has a lovely family.
