Actor and director Sarmad Khoosat is the official script writer for the Lux Style Awards (LSA) 2019. A renowned name in Pakistani film and television, Sarmad Khoosat is known for creating memorable dramas and films that resonate with Pakistani audiences. This year, he is taking his skills to LSAs 2019, providing a fresh take and a unique view to the script and show.

The multi-talented actor, director and scriptwriter, Khoosat is the talent behind successful dramas such as ‘Humsafar’ and ‘Shehr-e-Zaat’ to name a few. His claim to fame was in the 1990s, when he wrote the hit sitcom ‘Shashlik’ that ran for over three years on PTV. Not only this, but he also acted in shows such as ‘Baaghi’, ‘Mujhe Jeenay Do’, ‘Main Manto’ and ‘Dhokay Baaz’.

In 2017, he was presented with the Pride of Performance award by the president of Pakistan, celebrating his work in the field of literature and performing arts. In 2018, he wrote a 24-hour live act “No Time to Act”, enacting the last hours of a prisoners life. The performance granted him appreciation from critics and audiences alike. Now, with a plethora of experiences underneath his belt, his next venture is the LSAs where he is sure to entertain audiences with his diverse range of writing.

When contacted about the role, Khoosat said, “This is my first time writing a script for a show of this grand scale. It is a challenge surely, but it also a great honour. Working alongside the LSA team to bring this show to life is very exciting and I can’t wait to see what we all produce together. The audience is surely in for a ride.”

The 18th annual LSAs will be recorded later this month and are slated to air on Geo. The show’s directed by choreographer and entrepreneur Frieha Altaf.
