Egyptian director Mohamed KhanCAIRO, July 27, (AFP): Celebrated Egyptian film director Mohamed Khan died in Cairo on Tuesday aged 73 after a prolific career making socially engaged films. Khan has been one of Egypt’s leading cinematic figures since the 1980s, making a string of movies tackling social issues that have often revolved around female central characters.
Khan died in a Cairo hospital early Tuesday following “health problems”, state-owned al-Ahram newspaper said. His family was not immediately available for comment. A British national born to an Egyptian-Italian mother and a Pakistani father in Cairo in 1942, Khan studied in Britain and worked as an assistant director in Lebanon before returning to settle in Egypt
