“Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint you can on it.” Danny Kaye.
Saeed Khan just did the same. He tried as much as he can to bring colors into people’s life. No wonder he decided to be known as Rangeela (The one who is full of colors). They says, Being a comedian is a toughest job in the world. It does play a key role in any drama, film and play. Therefore you only sees limited number of writers, directors and Actors who can just show up with anything and it brings laughter and smile to everyone faces. Saeed Khan was one of them.
He is the only artist in the world who has tried each and every aspect of film making, professionally. At a time he is Writer, Actor, Director, Producer, Screen Play writer, Dialogue writer, Composer, Singer, distributor and exhibitor in a single movie. One can only imagine how the former movie hoardings painter from Lahore, after painting so many filmi billboards might have had dreams of his own, of one day joining the ranks of films greats.
He started his career as extra in MJ Rana’s ‘ Jatti’ but got in fame when he worked with Munawwar Zareef in ‘ Dia aur Toofan’. A famous song from this movie was ‘ Gaa meray Manwa Gaata Jaa ray, Jaana hai hum ka door’, was sung by him. He went on to give another hits, ‘Rangeela’ and ‘Dil aur Dunya’ thus completing the hat trick of blockbusters. All these 3 movies was directed by him. After showering his colors around for around 35 years, Rangeela passed away on 24th May 2005 at the age of 69.
