Amitabh Bachchan shared on Twitter last year that Kader Khan would be returning to movies soon. Kader Khan has given many hits like ‘Sharaabi’, ‘Coolie’ and ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’ with Bachchan. Khan’s most recent outings on the silver screen are ‘Tevar’ in 2015 and ‘Kill Dill’ in 2014. The Bollywood actor is also supposed to be a part of comedy film ‘Hera Pheri 3’ scheduled to be released in 2017.

Back in 2013 too rumours were rife that Bollywood’s script and dialogue writer-cum-actor Kader Khan was dead, which had disturbed the actor’s family. Very few public appearances and no screen presence in Bollywood fanned the rumours that the actor was no more. The news of Kader Khan’s death back then also turned out to be false. Khan confronted the media at that time that he was alive and was doing well.

Kader Khan has contributed immensely to the world of celebs and cinema. In his Bollywood career spanning four decades, Kader Khan has worked in hundreds of films. His some of the most notable works include films like ‘Coolie’, ‘Bol Radha Bol’, ‘Aankhen’, ‘Raja Babu’ and ‘Judwaa’.
