Safdar Jung is a 1930 action costume silent film directed by A. R. Kardar.[1] [2] The film was the third to be produced by Kardar's United Players Pictures (Playart Phototone), following Husn Ka Daku (1929) and Sarfarosh (1930).[3]
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.[4]
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".[5]
Like the rest of the films produced earlier, Safdar Jung was also released at The Deepak cinema in Bhati Gate area of Lahore.
