Safdar Jung (film)

Safdar Jung is a 1930 action costume silent film directed by A. R. Kardar. The film was the third to be produced by Kardar's United Players Pictures (Playart Phototone), following Husn Ka Daku (1929) and Sarfarosh (1930).

Kardar introduced the actress Mumtaz Begum as the lead heroine in the film. The cast included Gulzar, Mumtaz, Hiralal. The director of photography was K. V. Machve.

For actor Gul Hamid, Safdar Jung was the first of seven silent films he worked in. A police officer in the British Police by profession, he was chosen by Kardar as a leading man due to Hamid's "over-all persona".

Like the rest of the films produced earlier, Safdar Jung was also released at The Deepak cinema in Bhati Gate area of Lahore.
