Yawar Hayat Khan (18 October 1943 – 3 November 2016), was a producer and director of the Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV) starting from 1965 to 2004. He is considered one of the chief architects of Pakistan Television drama serials in its early years after television was introduced in Pakistan in 1964.[2][3]
Yawar Hayat Khan started his television career at Pakistan Television Corporation in 1965.[1] As a young producer-director, he directed the immensely popular rural folk drama Jhok Siyaal (1973), based on a work written earlier by Syed Shabbir Hussain Shah, the Punjabi writer (husband of the classical singer Malika Pukhraj and father of Ghazal singer Tahira Syed). This was followed by serials such as Samundar, Nasheman, Dehleez, Sahil, Gumshuda and others, during the 1980s and 1990s. He retired in 2004.[2]
The influence of British film director Sir David Lean is often visible on Khan's work, especially his epic, panoramic shots of natural scenes.[2]
In an interview on TV, Yawar Hayat also compared some of his work to the writings of the American writer William Faulkner, stating that he also created 'highly cerebral' and 'complex' works, that often reflected the lives of feudal aristocrats in their declining years, at odds with a changing society; as well as a diversity of rural and urban poor engaged in a 'harsh and sometimes grotesque struggle' for existence. Veteran TV actor Behroze Sabzwari gives a lot of credit to producer/director Yawar Hayat Khan for high quality TV dramas produced on Pakistan Television Corporation.[6] Late ProfessorJilani Kamran, a famous Pakistani critic and author, whilst praising Hayat Khan's work as 'enjoying a special status in PTV's seminal years' also stated that his popularity and that of other directors/producers like him, was 'fast declining among the young digital generation'. While Mustansar Hussain Tarar, another Pakistani writer, feels that "With the departure of Yawar Hayat a creative era of production and direction has come to an end. He was an excellent conversationalist and had a profound influence on anyone who met him." Moreover, he won many Awards including Asian Awards, Asian Excellence Performance Awards, Nigar Awards, and PTV Awards.[1]
Death
Yawar Hayat Khan died after a short illness, in Lahore, Pakistan, on the evening of 3 November 2016.[1][7]
