The History

Kardar Studios was resurrected by Sean Kardar, son of late AJ Kardar, acclaimed Pakistani Director (1925-2002) who was the first ever Pakistani filmmaker to submit feature film, Jago Hua Savera, to the Academy Awards in 1959. 

AJ Kardar was younger brother to actor, Director and Producer, Abdur Rashid Kardar (1904-1989). Abdur is credited with establishing the film industry in the Bhati Gate locality of Lahore, British India, which is now Pakistan.

A.R. Kardar established himself as a successful filmmaker directing 40 films – the most well known being Dulaari, Yasmin, Shahjahan, Dard, Dastaan, amongst others.

In 1940 A. R. Kardar established Kardar Studios that was situated in the Lower Parel area in Mumbai and started directing films under his own banner Kardar Productions.

The Now

A 2007 Film graduate, Sean has resurrected his family's trading name of Kardar Studios to honour his father and follow his own pursuits in the industry.

Spending most of his younger years competing in amateur combat sports on a national and international level, he is passionate in telling the human stories of athletes.

Sean works with a team of filmmakers to provide a production service tailored to different budgets and creative requirements.
