Aakeel was also cast alongside Riz Ahmed in the 2016 thriller City of Tiny Lights. Early lifeAntonio Aakeel (Antonio Khela) was born in Wolverhampton, England, and moved around the West Midlands as a child.[2] He caught the acting bug after being given a one-line role in a school nativity play and went on to hone his craft through local theatre, before being scouted by a talent agent.[3] He speaks Punjabi and Hindi.[4] CareerFilmAakeel starred as Nasir Baloch in the 2013 political short film The Line of Freedom directed by David Whitney. The film depicts the true story of a murdered student rights activist and premiered at the Dubai International Film Festival.[5] Upon its release, the film was immediately met with controversy and allegedly resulted in Aakeel becoming a target of death threats.[6] The film was subsequently prohibited in Pakistan and reportedly contributed to a national ban of IMDb.[7] In 2015, he appeared as Raza in feature film The Contract, written by David Marconi and directed by Nic Auerbach. He was cast alongside Riz Ahmed and Billie Piper in London crime thriller City of Tiny Lights directed by BAFTA winner Pete Travis.[8] The film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival 2016 and released in UK cinemas April 2017.[9] In December 2016, Aakeel landed a supporting role in The Hungry, Film London's contemporary feature adaptation of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus alongside Naseeruddin Shah and Tisca Chopra, directed by Bornila Chatterjee.[10] The Film premiered under special presentations at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival.[11] It was announced in March 2017 that Aakeel will star as the lead in British feature film Eaten by Lions, starring opposite comedians Johnny Vegas and Jack Carroll, directed by Jason Wingard.[12][13] Aakeel appeared in Tomb Raider (2018), directed by Roar Uthaug.[14] TelevisionAakeel landed his first television role in the British series Skins. He was chosen over 500 hopefuls by director Charles Martin and appeared in series 3 of the E4 drama.[15] He has gained guest-lead roles in BBC series Doctors and BBC One drama series Moving On directed by Reece Dinsdale.[16][17][18][19] In 2016, Aakeel was cast in Guilty Pleasures directed by Sonny Michael Chohan, a TV drama pilot based on real life sex trafficking circles in the UK.[20] In May 2017 he appeared in the three-part BBC One drama Three Girls directed by BAFTA winner Philippa Lowthorpe.[21] TheatreIn 2013, he played the title role in the stage adaptation of Guantanamo Boy. The play ran at the Half Moon Theatre and toured nationally at Middle Temple Hall, Almeida Theatre, The Hat Factory, Mercury Theatre, Burnley Youth Theatre and The Drum Theatre.[22] The Stage's Susan Elkin wrote Aakeel "is great as the distraught, anguished, terrified Khalid. The downhill spiral followed by the final return of a damaged-for-life boy to Rochdale is well handled too. He has a very expressive face."[23] In 2015, he played the lead role of Artie in Waiting for Garbo at the Crescent Theatre as part of the Birmingham Theatre Festival. Love Midlands Theatre reviewed the performance, commenting his "portrayal of a brash New Yorker falling apart is utterly convincing."[24] Antonio has also performed locally with Midlands based theatre company Round Midnight.[25] Filmography
