Interestingly in an interview with Rediff the late versatile actor had shared why he stopped doing villainous roles on screen for Quddus. He had said, “My elder son Quddus would come home after playing with his friends with his clothes all torn. As a villain, I always got beaten up in the end. His friends and classmates told him that your father beats up people and then, in the end, he gets beaten up. My son used to get angry at such comments and get into fights. One day, when he came home with a head injury, I became very upset and decided I would not accept villain roles any more. ‘Himmatwala’, a comedy, was being made and I started doing comic roles from then on.”

Starting with his first film as an actor in Daag over the next 35 years Kader went on to act in over 300 films in some great memorable roles, and also wrote the story or dialogues for more than 250 films in Hindi and Urdu, starting with Roti (1974).

Kader also had some greatest contribution to Amitabh Bachchan’s career. As he has written few of Bachchan’s blockbuster like Amar Akbar Anthony, Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, Laawaris and Coolie to name a few.
