Kader Khan is a fine actor.He is also a great writer.He is originally from Afghanistan, he is a Pashtun.
Kader Khan has a diploma in Civil Engineering.He has taught the subject in an engineering college in Mumbai.He started off in Yash Chopra's'Daag' in 1973.He did not have the looks or personality to become a hero.So he became mainly a character artiste.In the eighties & nineties films were written with good roles for character artistes.
Thus we had people like Kader Khan, Asrani, Sadashiv Amrapurkar, Anupam Kher & Asrani who got meaty roles in Hindi movies of that era.These days however films revolve around the hero.The thing with Kader Khan was that he could slip into any character with ease.Thus he was the scheming munshi in'Himmatwla', We see him as a sorcerer in'Pataal Bhairavi'.We also see him as the doting father in'Biwi Ho To Aisi'.Indeed he is a genius as he has played a huge variety of important characters with a lot of finesse.He is also a great writer having written the dialogues for many hit films of the eighties & nineties.
He has excellent command over the Urdu language & is in touch with the likes & dislikes of the common film-loving public.This has enabled him to write many hit film dialogues.However as movies became more sophisticated & westernised people like Kader Saab found it difficult to fit in.This and his advancing age is the reason that he is not seen on screen anymore.
