Career
Kandhar Break
In 2008, Sheikh produced Kandhar Break - political thriller set in 1999 which tells the story of an Englishman who, dictated by circumstances, must escape the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. While filming a night seen in the desert, a group associated with the Taliban attacked the Pakistani members of the film crew. Four of the crew members were shot while leaving the compound and arriving at the set; they all survived. Much like lead character of the movie, director David Whitney and his crew were forced to leave Pakistan with the help of local security forces. Only 75% of the shoot was completed by then. Later, Sheikh arranged funding for the remaining part that was filmed in Tunisia.[2]
Moor
Sheikh was approached by Jami, director and writer of Moor, to play the role of an old man whose family was affected by the closure of a Railway Station in Zhob Valley, Baluchistan. In preparation of the role, Sheikh gained a lot of weight and changed his posture and walking style. He described his role as "genuinely challenging", yet didn't charge a dime for the project since he believed the film would open doors for young actors of Baluchistan.[1]
