Career
Till 2014, Mir Sarwar lived in Pandrethan, Srinagar and would travel to Mumbai for meetings and look tests. He moved to Mumbai permanently in late 2014, before getting an opportunity to be a part of two high profile films, Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) and Phantom (2015). In the former, he notably played the father of the lost Pakistani girl Shahida, who is guided by Salman Khan's character back to Pakistan.[2] Sarwar also worked on the production of Kashmir Daily, a self-financed Kashmiri film venture, for a period of four years. The actor also is involved in making Kashmiri short films and contributes to the industry's projects without charging a fee in order to encourage filmmaking among residents of the area.[3][4]
In 2017, Sarwar worked on the production of Mani Ratnam's Tamil film Kaatru Veliyidai (2017) and shot for the film in Hyderabad and Ladakh.[5][6] He successfully auditioned for the film, with date clashes meaning he opted out of his role in Naam Shabana (2017) for the opportunity.[7]
