Sultan Muhammad (popularly known as Sultan Rahi) born (1938 - 9 January 1996) in a muslim family of Saharanpur, was a notable Pakistani film actor who was prominent in Pakistan in Punjabi films during the 1970s and 1980s. He was mostly popular among people in Punjab, Pakistan and among Sikh and Punjabi community of India. He appeared in more than 700 Punjabi and Urdu-language movies, and is named in the Guinness Book of Records as the most prolific actor.
Rahi dominated the film industry for decades until his murder on 9 January 1996; he was shot dead on the main highway in Pakistan known as GT Road. Some say it was out of jealousy amongst the Pakistani people and that Rahi was the only actor being used in the Lollywood Industry.
