Assistance Needed – Looking for Memories or Photographs of Luxor Cinema Co-Owner (1960s–70s)

Hello everyone,


I’m reaching out with a very personal request and hoping the collective memory of this community might be able to help.


I am trying to learn more about my late grandfather, Mir Afzal Khan (Mir Afsar), who was one of the co-owners of the Luxor Cinema during the 1960s and 1970s. He passed away when I was just one year old, and sadly our family does not have any photographs of him. Because of this, so much of who he was has been lost to time, and it feels like a missing piece of our family history.


If anyone here remembers him, worked with him, visited the Luxor Cinema regularly, or even has photographs, documents, or stories connected to the cinema from that era, I would be deeply grateful to hear from you. Even the smallest memory, a passing interaction, or an impression of his character would mean more to us than words can say.


We are especially hoping to understand who he was as a person beyond his role in business. What was he like with people? Was he well known in the community? Did your family ever interact with him or spend time at the Luxor Cinema during those years?


This search is about reconnecting with a part of our family history that we never had the chance to know properly, and any help at all could help bring his story back to life.


Thank you sincerely for taking the time to read this, and please feel free to reply here or message me privately if you prefer.


With gratitude,
His dearest Granddaughter.
