This producer once bowed before Kader Khan, begged and even touched his feet, his reply shocked everyone, he said…
Are you also fascinated by the untold stories of Bollywood legends? While films give us iconic characters, it is often the behind-the-scenes memories that reveal the true essence of a star. One such story comes from the life of the late Kader Khan, the actor, writer, and comedian who became a powerhouse of talent in Indian cinema. Recently, his close friend Tikku Talsania recalled a heartwarming and witty incident that perfectly sums up Khan's larger-than-life persona.
In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, it's usually the on-screen performance and stories that the audience witnesses. But what happens behind the surface is a lot more than what meets the eye. One such behind-the-scenes story is of a star who reveals his true essence. The actor that we are talking about is the late Kader Khan, the actor, writer, and comedian. Recently, his close friend Tikku Talsania recalled one of his stories, which was both heartwarming and witty, and perfectly sums up Khan's larger-than-life persona. When a producer pleaded in front of Kader Khan
In an interview, Talsania shared that Kader Khan's company was always delightful. He revealed that he was naturally gifted, specifically with his quick wit, punch lines and dialogue delivery. Speaking of an incident from the set of Umar 55 Ki Dil Bachpan Ka, he shared that a desperate producer once fell at Khan's feet, pleading with him to complete his film. The producer begged, 'Please finish my film, sir. The dubbing is still incomplete. If you don't do this, I'll be ruined.'
Kader Khan, known for his sharp wit and blunt nature, responded, saying, 'Tu itna kharab insaan hai , footpath bechkar bhi kha jaayega .'
('You are such a determined man that even if you sold the pavement, you would still find a way to survive.')
This moment not only stood out to the producer because of Kader Khan's sense of humour, but also because of his ability to inspire confidence even in tough times. As Talsania put it, only Kader Khan had the kind of authority and charm to say such impactful words.
Kader Khan's journey was nothing short of remarkabl e. Before he ventured into films, he was a civil engineering professor who also wrote plays and acted in them. During o ne of his play, Dilip Kumar noticed him and introduced him to films. From there, there was no looking back. Kader Khan went on to act in nearly 300 films and wrote dialogues for around 200 more. Some of his iconic works include Coolie, Coolie No. 1, Judwaa, and several unforgettable collaborations with Amitabh Bachchan. Later, his comic timing alongside Akshay Kumar in films like Mujhse Shaadi Karogi further cemented his legacy.
Kader Khan has left the world, but his legacy still remains.

Coolie worldwide box office collection day 4: Rajinikanth-starrer is #1 film in the world; beats Weapons, Nobody 2
Coolie worldwide box office collection: Rajinikanth's Coolie is going from strength to strength at the box office. The action thriller directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj opened to record-breaking numbers and has kept the momentum going through its extended opening weekend, despite some lukewarm reviews. Now, Coolie has done the unthinkable by becoming the number one movie at the worldwide box office in its opening weekend. Coolie worldwide box office collection: Rajinikanth's film has topped the global box office this weekend. (Photo by Raju Shinde/HT Photo)(Raju Shinde) Coolie worldwide box office report Coolie earned ₹194.25 crore net ( ₹233 crore gross) in its four-day extended opening weekend in India. It is the fastest Tamil film to ₹100 crore, and will likely become the fastest to ₹200 crore on Monday. But Coolie's overseas earnings are just as impressive. The film set new benchmarks for Tamil films with record-breaking openings in North America, the UK, and Australia. By Sunday, the film has earned over $18 million ( ₹160 crore) in the international market. Its total worldwide haul stands at ₹393 crore ($45 million) after four days. How Coolie became the #1 film in the world Coolie's $45 million haul is impressive for any Indian film in its first four days. But the end of the Hollywood summer and the absence of a big tentpole film in the US this weekend have meant that it is enough to top the charts globally as well. Coolie managed to beat the horror film, Weapons, which earned an estimated $44 million over the last four days (Thursday-Sunday). The Zach Cregger film earned $29 million in the US, according to Box Office Mojo, in addition to $15 million overseas. In the third spot during this extended weekend is Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2, which has earned an estimated $30 million in its first four days. The YRF Spy Universe is level with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan's Freakier Friday, which brought home the same amount. The only new Hollywood release this weekend - Nobody 2 starring Bob Odenkirk - opened at just $14 million worldwide, far behind Coolie. All about Coolie Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie stars Rajinikanth as the titular retired coolie, who ends up embroiled in a gangster's world (Simon, played by Nagarjuna) after the death of his friend. The film also stars Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, and Sathyaraj, with a cameo from Aamir Khan.
