Abdur Razzak (23 January 1942 – 21 August 2017)[1][2] was a Indian born Bangladeshi actor and film director.[3] He was dubbed Nayak Raj Razzak (King of Heroes), a term introduced by Ahmed Zaman Chowdhury, editor of the magazine Chitrali.[4] Razzak won the Bangladesh National Film Award for Best Actor five times for his roles in the films Ki Je Kori (1976), Ashikkhito (1978), Boro Bhalo Lok Chhilo (1982), Chandranath (1984) and Jogajog (1988). He was awarded the Independence Day Award in 2015 by the Government of Bangladesh.[4][5] He acted in more than 300 Bengali and Urdu films and also directed 16 films. He is considered one of the greatest actors in Bangladeshi film industry.[6]

Early life[edit | edit source]

Razzak was born in Naktala, South Kolkata.[1] His parents Akbar Hossain and Nisarunnesa died at early ages.[1][7] He joined the troupe Rongo Shobha Natya Dal led by Chhabi Biswas.[1] In 1961, he went to Mumbai to get a diploma at the Filmalaya Film Institute.[1] Communal violence in Calcutta in 1964 made work difficult. That year he moved to Dacca to try to break into the nascent East Pakistani film industry.[5]

In Dhaka, Razzak found work at Abdul Jabbar Khan's Iqbal Films, and assisted in Kamal Khan's Ujala. He then worked in small roles in the films Akheri Station and Tero Nombor Feku Ostagor Lane.[1]

Career[edit | edit source]

In 1966, Zahir Raihan was looking for someone to play the lead role of his new film Behula. He chose Razzak who was then serving as one of his assistants.[1] Razzak went on to act in films including Abirbhab, Moynamoti, Taka Ana Pai, Dorpochurno and Jibon Theke Neya (1970). After the 1971 Liberation War he continued working on the films Manusher Mon, Ora Egaro Jon and Osru Diye Lekha.[1]

Razzak got his major breakthrough by acting in the action film Rongbaj (1974), directed by Zahirul Haq.[8]

Razzak acted in leading roles with many prominent actors, including Anwar Hossain, Bulbul Ahmed, Sohel Rana, Ilias Kanchan, Shuchanda, Shabana, Bobita, Kabori, Sujata, Shabnam and others. He appeared in a number of films opposite actress Shabana.

Razzak went on to make more than 300 appearances in Bengali and Urdu movies.

Razzak made his directorial debut in 1977 with the film Ononto Prem.[1] He created his own production company Rajlokkhi Productions . He went on to become the first Bangladeshi actor to be a UNFPA Goodwill Ambassador. He later founded the Bangladesh Film Artistes' Association.[1]

Personal life[edit | edit source]

Razzak was married to Khairunnesa (nicknamed Laxmi). Together they had three sons, Bapparaj, Bappi, and Samrat, and two daughters, Nasrin Pasha and Afrin Alam.[7][9] He died on 21 August 2017 in Dhaka.[10][11]
