Early life
Career
In the 1980s, Adil made his debut as a child actor and appeared in his father's film Hero which was released in 1985. The film, which his father also wrote, was a silver jubilee hit at the box office. After this success, he continued to work on more films. He made his acting debut in the Pakistani Urdu colour film Raja Sahib in 1996. Although the film didn't do well at the box office due to weak direction and a poorly developed storyline, his performance received highly positive feedback.[3] Since then, he has been working in tele-films as an actor and as producer. Later, he was cast by Shoaib Mansoor in his telefilm Streets of Karachi, which was based on the life of a couple in Karachi and the ups and downs of the city.[4] In 2016, the ARY Film Awards presented the Special Recognition Award to Adil on behalf of his father, Waheed Murad, for his inspirational work in the film industry.[5][6]
