He was awarded the Bangladesh National Film Award for Best Actor in Negative role for the film Desha: The Leader in 2014 and in 2019 for the film Abar Bosonto. He is the founding member and leader of prominent Bangladeshi theatre group, Natyakendra, where he holds the position of Principal Secretary.

Khan was a freedom fighter in the liberation war of Bangladesh in 1971.[1]

Early life[edit]

Born in Satkhira, Khan is the eldest son of Fakhrul Anam Khan and Jahanara Khanam. He has three brothers and four sisters.[2]

Role as a freedom fighter in liberation war of Bangladesh[edit]

Khan was involved in progressive cultural and political activities in Satkhira since before the Liberation War. At the beginning of 1971, he became directly active with the resistance movement. From April 1971, along with many others, he set up a camp at Bhomra border in Satkhira. Then he went to India and engaged himself in the Liberation War organization. He was responsible for recruiting the freedom fighters, taking them to the camp for training from Bashirhat town in West Bengal. At the same time, a cultural group was formed with a few other artists. They used to perform motivational songs and plays in different camps of Sector 9.

Career[edit]

In 2018, he played as a missile specialist scientist in Ashiqur Rahman's action drama Super Hero, starring opposite Shakib Khan for the first time.[3]

Theatre[edit]

Khan started his career as a theatre artist. He joined the Bangladeshi theatre group "Theatre" after his return from the National School of Drama. Later, he parted ways with Theatre due to some differences in opinion and founded "Natyakendra" on October 11, 1990 along with Jhuna Chowdhury, Tauqir Ahmed, and Nahid Ferdous Meghna. In 25 years, Natyakendra has staged 14 productions, 11 of which were directed by Khan. The group's first production Bichchu (adapted from Molière's That Scoundrel Scapin) is considered one of the iconic productions in Bangladesh theatre history. His directed plays have performed more than 500 shows in Bangladesh and abroad.[citation needed]

Advertising[edit]

Khan started his career in marketing by founding the advertising firm Adshop in 1985.[4]

He was credited as the production supervisor of the Bangladesh unit of the 2015 Hollywood film Avengers: Age of Ultron.[5]

He started working as a marketing adviser of Akij Group in 2015.[6]

He gained popularity for his portrayal of a smuggler in the television series Tothapi (1994) directed by Zia Ansary, which was telecast on Bangladesh Television.
