Although he improved upon his studies once he moved from Rawalpindi to Karachi but he was never been able to convert a hidden artists into a brilliant student. As a young boy being very naughty and active he was recognized by the residents of Plaza Quarters. Young Javed as slim, smart, tall with fair complexion boy was inclined towards performing art and his instinct was further boosted when he found his residence surrounded by Cinemas like Nishat, Plaza, Naz, Taj Mahal, Qaiser and Koh e Noor etc so naturally he was unable to prevent himself from the magic of cinema and became a very regular spectator of cinema. |

Career As Stage Actor
Consequent to this Javed switched off to modeling and stage shows/dramas once again. As stage comedian he established himself through Syed Furqan Haider and performed with Moeen Akhtar and Umer Sharif who had established themselves as stage comedians. To create individuality of its own, other than his dialogue delivery Javed inculcated funny facial expressions and body gestures in his acting as new innovation, which was well received by audience thus that brought him equal to lead actors of the stage.
As TV ActorIt was the time when Ptv had started its transmission in Karachi and so he was able to entered into TV drams through Aftab Siddique who was basically a radio artist. Ameer Imam’s Insan Aur Aadmi was his debut TV drama in which he delivered only one line dialogs. Then Javed was asked by Kanwar Aftab to arrange a car for entry into TV drama Aap Kahan Jayen Ge which he arranged after borrowing motor car from one of his friends and gave second TV appearance by uttering another one line dialogue of his career. That’s how he made his entry in TV drams as an ordinary supporting actor. Due to his good looks, ads, popularity at stage dramas and some TV appearance he was picked by Qasim Jalali and was selected for Fatima Surriya Bajiya’s famous drama serial Shamma as a main lead role hero. Shamma had twenty six episodes and basing upon its strong story, good grip direction and applauding acting by all artists it succeeded in capturing huge viewership.

The success of Shamma opens new avenues for Javed, consequently, he appeared in many drams series and serials. His viewership and popularity expanded not only within the Pakistan but reached at the doorsteps of Indian showbiz world as well. Meantime he was offered a role in an indian film Dosra Kinara, Indian actress Dipty Noul was in main lead role.

Resultantly a ban was imposed by Ptv authorities on him and he was not allowed to give TV appearance in any form. But he never lost his hope and continued with stage dramas and advertisements. Finally, Ptv authorities reconsidered their decision, uplift thier ban and Javed Sheikh was once again became one of the most committed TV actor and during this period he gave wonderful appearances in many dramas like Parchhaiyan, Adhori Kahani, Shohar Jamhora, Panah, Kala Daira, Fifty Fiftey and Altamish which was a historical TV play. His last TV drama was Haseena Moeen’s An-Kahi and it gave a tremendous popularity to Javed Sheikh.
Film Career (Come Back)
Haseena Moeen’s An-Kahi gave a very strong base and popularity to Javed Sheikh. Zahid Shah who was in the initial process of Urdu film Bivi Ho To Aisi as a director, he casted Javed Sheikh as hero of the film. Shafi Muhammad was playing the role of elder brother of Javed Sheikh in said film, he had very good terms with each other. Shooting of film was started but some distributors from Lahore demanded that Faisal to be casted as hero in place of Javed Sheikh. Initially Zahid Shah the director of the film was reluctant but on increasing pressure of the distributors he announced his decision on the set where Javed Sheikh had just distributed sweets for his comeback in the film industry. Heard the tough decision cheerfully but very disappointed Javed left the film set but not lost his hope.
1983
Mr. Stish Anand Chand was planning to launch a project, Kabhi Alwida Na Kehna under the banner of Eveready Pictures. The film was penned downed by Ali Sufiyan Afaqi and Nazar Shabab was the director of the movie which was being made with collaboration of Sri Lanka. For the powerful character of the hero, initially, Nadeem was selected but due to his own commitment was unable to spare dates for this project. Keeping in view the popularity of Javed Sheikh in Ptv dramas, Stish Anand selected him as hero for Kabhi Alwida Na Kehna which was opposed by Nazar Shabab with the plea that Javed Sheikh was a good TV actor but at the same time he was flop film actor as proved in Dhamaka. But Stish Anand was determined so Javed Sheikh was finalized and he performed against Shabnam and Sabeeta. On completion once Kabhi Alwida Na Kehna was released on December 18, 1983 it proved a super hit film in all circuit of Pakistan (Golden Jubilee in Lahore and Karachi). Resultantly, Javed Sheikh became super star and declared a substitute of Nadeem and Faisal. A long queue of films was waiting to fit in his credential.
1984
In next year, Javed Sheikh appeared in six films of renowned film directors like Zafar Shabab’s Shadi Magar Adhi, Shamim Ara’s Miss Colombo(with Sabeeta and it was Golden Jubilee film) etc. Soon he was casted with leading actors like Muhammad Ali in Bobby and with Nadeem in Lazawal and he proved his worth with his outstanding performance and Lazawal was another Golden Jubilee film of year. Then came Waheed Khan’s action Cinemascope film Karaye Kay Goreelay and Zafar Shabab’s Terey Ghar Ke Samney which was Silver Jubilee film of 1984.
Javed Sheikh’s films in 1984:
| Bobby | Karaye Kay Goreelay | Lazawal | Miss Colombo | Shadi Magar Adhi | Terey Ghar Ke Samney |
1985
The year 1985 brought some more successes for Javed Sheikh, like K. Khursheed’s Benazir Qurbani (Silver Jubilee), Halchal by Pervez Malik (Golden Jubilee) and Jeeney Nahin Dongi by Sangeeta, the best film on the credential of his professional career is Director Jan Muhammad’s Hong Kong Ke Sholey in which Javed Sheikh played double role for the first time. It was father son character in which son takes the revenge of his father‘s misfortune. Javed Sheikh played both the characters very professionally that took the film to Golden Jubilee award. As born in October, Javed Shikh possesses a romantic approach being Libra and at that time he had established himself up tp some extent so during the coming period he diverted his attention towards his personal relationships. Once during the film shooting of Ham Aur Tum, in London he was emotionally involved in the heroine of the film Salma Agha who was at that time looking for some support for her film career. Subsequently, their affair resulted in their marriage but with his involvement Javed Sheikh ignored his professional obligations including his first wife and family as well. So the result was obvious and Ham Aur Tum was proved a flop film. It also effected his next film with former actor Shahid named Nadia which was also a failure film of the year. Director Altaf Hussain casted Javed Sheikh in Mehndi which was first ever Punjabi film of his career Mehndi was based on romantic triangular film story, Anjuman and Sangeeta played opposite lead role against Javed Sheikh who once again delivered his best so film reached on heights of Golden Jubilee.

1986
Zanjeer was Pervez Malik’s film in which Javed played a role of very patriotic Pakistani, his performance in the film was at his peak and very memorable which made the film a Silver Jubilee at the box office. Late Masroor Anwar’s Shadi Merey Shohar Ki, Jhoomar Chor by Sharif Nayyar did not do well. Iqbal Kashmiri’s flm Karaye Kay Goreelay was dubbed in Pashto after renaming it as Da Mura Inteqam. Some songs of the films were added in Pashto and on its release film did good business and made Javed Sheikh a unique actor who picturised Pashto songs for being a non-Pashto speaking actor. Bhabhi Diyan Choorian was his second Punjabi film which was produced by Aziz Jahangiri, film did a good business and declared Golden Jubilee film of the year but it created lot of differences in between Javed and Salma Agha and caused lot of mental tension for Javed. Aik Hi Rasta was next film which was directed by Husnain, Javed played the role of Police Officer (DSP), in spite of his mentally disturbed period he performed well and took the film to reach on Silver Jubilee at the box officer. In his next episode, once again Javed was casted against Nadeem in a very powerful character in Muhammad Javed Fazil’s Golden Jubilee film Faisla, Javed delivered his best in the film and proved himself equal to Nadeem in all respects. Javed Sheikh played the role of doctor in Iqbal Kashmiri’s Hum Aik Hain, the lead role was played by Sheva, initially this role was earmarked for Javed Sheikh but due to some reasons related to Salma Agha he played the secondary role of doctor, Hum Aik Hain was the biggest hit film of year.

| Jhoomar Chor | Shadi Merey Shohar Ki | Zanjeer |
1987
As far as his film career is concerned, 1987 was not that good year for Javed, when his three films Ham Se Na Takrana by Jamshed Naqvi, Deewar by Aman Mirza and Zafar Shabab’s Saas Meri Saheli (this was Javed’first film in which he played young to old role) proved a complete failure films of the year. Even Nazar Shabab’s Aik Se Barh Kar Aik was proved an average film.

1988
The release and success of Qatlon Ke Qatil by M. A. Rasheed gave Javed a bit sigh of relief. Muhammad Javed Fazil’s film Aag Hi Aag was a huge project in which Javed Sheikh played the role of a young angry man who stands up against his own father for his love and viewers loved the theme of the film and acting of Javed. Then came the biggest film of Javed’s professional career, Gharibon Ka Badshah by Pervez Malik. The story of film revolve around the prevailing situation of Pakistan where terrorism, sectarian and linguistic differences, unfaithful politicians who becomes puppets in the hands of anti-state elements for their own personal gains and interests. It was base on a very sensitive subject, but obviously, it was not accepted at government official level that really heart the fantastic film director Pervez Malik and he was so disappointed that he got retired himself from his film professional career as film director and afterward never directed any film. But Javed Sheikh on his performance in Gharibon Ka Badshah received a lot of appreciation from every walk of life which includes Nigar and National Awards. During this period matrimonial relations between Javed and Salma went to its climax that resulted in divorce that brought a very bad name for Javed. His consecutive failure of films was basically outcome of this incident. Bhabhi Diyan Choorian was dubbed into Pashto with inclusion of Badar Munir and Bedar Bakhat, Pashto film director Darvesh released it as Da Bhabhi Bangri. Sharif Ali’s Sheesh Nagin and Daud Butt’s Sherni were another flop films of the year.

1989
In 1989, total eleven films of Javed Shiekh were released. It is worth mentioning here that trend of double version films (a film dubbed in different languages like Punjabi and Urdur etc) was started in this year so a lot of sub-standard movies were made in different language thus compromised the quality over quantity. Director Husnain’s Ik Jan Hain Ham was a failure film due to his poor story plot. Nazar ul Islam Dada’s Madam Bawri was a double version film with title role which was performed by Neeli and her pair with Javed Sheikh was much appreciated by film viewers. The film was hit at the box office. Pholan Devi by Masood Butt was another failure again agian due to its poor story. Altaf Hussain’s Punjabi film Barash, Iqbal Kashmiri’s Rangeelay Jasoos were a big success which enabled Javed Sheikh to won the best Punjabi Heero award for Rangeelay Jasoos. Although, Younis Malik’s Ameer Khan did a Golden Jubilee business but the role of Javed Shiekh was very disappointing. Tofani Bijlian by Nazar Shabab, Iqbal Kashmiri’s Zakhmi Aurat and Nangi Talwar which was directed by Haider Choudhry and Pani did comparatively good business.

1990
During 1990, Javed Sheikh paid more attention towards quantity over quality, so forteen of his movies were released in this year. He played a negative role in Hoshiyar, the film was directed by Haider Choudhry and his performance as negative character was much appreciated. International Guerillay was one of his best films of the year in which he played a very sentimental and emotional role as the plot of the film was based on the story of Sulman Rushdi who had recently written his controversial and divisive book which was against the very sensitive emotions of Muslims. He was so hated that he had to take the asylum and Iranian had issued Fatwa against him for his life. Aziz Tabbasam’s Jangju Guerillay, Punjabi film Waqt by Idrees Khan, Rasheed Dogar’s Paisa Nach Nachawe and Akhri Takra by Raza Zaidi did good business. Another two films in whihc Javed Sheikh was placed against Nadeem in Raja and Ustadon Ke Ustad directed by Iqbal Kashmiri and Muhammad Javed Fazil respectively. In Raja although Nadeem played the lead role but Javed Sheikh in his double role was more prominent. Likewise, in Ustadon Ke Ustad was basically a comedy film and in comedy Javed proved himself much superior than veteran Nadeem as he was awarded with Nigar award of the year. Remaining all of his films were flopped because of his poor performance and story of the films.

After the alarming number of flop films, Javed diverted his attention towards direction and started his own film Mushkil, that’s why in year 1994 he did only two films Nehle Pe Dehla and Akhri Mujra. During the making of Mushkil, he faced lot of hurdles within the people of filmdom but due to his devotion and dedication he finally released the film and it not only proved a good film but also Pakistan Film Industry got a very talented film director through this film. In his next film Jo Dar Geya Woh Mar Geya , Javed did a negative role and he did it very well that it shut the mouth of those who started saying that this was going to be his end of Javed sheikh as hero and main lead role in any of his films. After release of this film he was to offer roles for many other films but since he was out of country for making of his film Chief Sahib. However, the highlight of year was Jeeva this is his one of the best film in which he played against legendry actor Nadeem. His other films like Ham Nahin Ya Tum Nahin, Panah brought some more successes for Javed.

On release film did a good business specially the song of the movie got attention of general masses. The song Bas by bas ziyada baat nai chief sahib, aaj ke baad mulaqat nai chif sahib by Sajjad Ali was the most popular song of the film as this song was objected by some political personalities and even Sajjad was threatened for that song.

As Film Director
Since Javed Sheikh was matured in acting from TV, Theater and then in films so he was confident enough to perform on any situation but most of the time he had to obey what his director had instructed him but deep inside Javed used to think that this shot was not done by the director as it could have been. Moreover, after giving consecutive flop films, Javed was determined that with so many other reasons, the major cause of these failure films was the poor directions as well. So way back in early nineties, he decided to direct his own film. And finally his dream came true in 1995 when his debut directed film Mushkil was launched.
