Allauddin Butt, better known as simply Allauddin (Urdu: علاءُ الدین; 2 February 1920 – 13 May 1983) was a Pakistani actor who worked in Pakistani Lollywood movies.[1][2][3] His film career spanned over 4 decades.[1]

Early life and career

Allauddin Butt was born into a Kashmiri family in Rawalpindi, Punjab, British India in 1920.[1][3] Initially wanting to be a singer, he trained as a musician who frequented the likes of Ustad Alla Rakha, the noted tabla player, in Bombay.[3] Then he met the veteran producer/director A. R. Kardar in Bombay who was originally from Lahore. Kardar encouraged him to try the film world and introduced him to some film personalities. When Allauddin turned to acting, he was one of the very few Pakistani film actors who mostly acted as a villain, comedian and only sometimes as a lead actor in his films.[1]

Allauddin was the older brother and mentor of Pakistani film director Riaz Ahmad 'Raju' who was active in the Pakistani film industry from the 1960s to the 1980s.[1]
