First film: No Paisa No Problem (Urdu - 2000)Humayun Saeed (Urdu: ہمایوں سعید) (born July 27, 1971 in Karachi) is a famous Pakistani actor, model and producer.
Family
Saeed has four, younger brothers, Babar, Amir, Adnan and Salman.
Before acting
Saeed obtained a Bachelor of Commerce Degree, before establishing himself as a garment factory Production Manager, in Karachi; where he stayed from 1991- 1995.
Saeed first appeared on television at the end of 1995. Quick to learn and eager to make a mark, he accepted roles in various drama serials, appearing alongside other rising stars such as Aamina Haq and Faryal Gohar. Taking up modelling as a side-by-side profession, Saeed was soon famous for "his looks, his etiquette and above all, for his impressive voice.
His first television play was 'Ye Jahan,' which set him on the path to success. Within a year, the awards were already raining through. In 1996, he was declared Best Actor, at the TVT Performance Awards, for his performance in the play "Ab tum ja sakte ho." The same year saw him taking away another Best Actor award for his performance in the telefilm 'Zeher.'
On the silver screen
As his fame progressed, Saeed tried his abilities on the silver cinema screen. His first film, Inteha opposite the beautiful and famous Meera, was a box-office hit. His second film, No Paisa No Problem - in which he plays a prostitue - however, flopped.
Saeed was offered the lead role in top director-producer Javed Sheikh's film, Yeh Dil Aap Ka Huwa. He rejected, citing date clashes and the role, therefore, went to film actor Moammar Rana instead. Yeh Dil Aap Ka Huwa turned out to be a huge hit, and Saeed agreed to work on Javed Sheikh's next movie, Khullay Aasmaan Ke Neeche (KAKN), which was released in July 2008. The film failed to make the mark its predecessor Yeh Dil Ap Ka Hua had, but still garnered some good reviews.
Production
Since the mid to late 90's, Saeed has been producing his own television serials - especially for Pakistani channels like PTV - under the banner of Humayun Saeed Productions.
In 2000, he partnered with Abdullah Kadwani to form Humayun Saeed-Abdullah Kadwani Productions. Their very first serial, Ana, bagged a Lux Style Award.
