[edit] Start of Film Career
Mohammad Ali accepted the role of a villain in the famous director-writer-poet Fazal Ahmed Karim Fazli's film Chiragh jalta raha, which was not only his first film (as a villain) but also the first film for Zeba, Deeba, Kamal Irani, and the director Fazli. It proved to be the first and the last film for a virtually unknown actor named Arif, who was the hero of this film.
Chiragh jalta raha was premiered by Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah on March 9, 1962 at the Nishat Cinema, M.A. Jinnah Road, Karachi. Its songs were composed by Radio Pakistan's music director-singer, Nihal Abdullah. The movie brought laurels for Mohammad Ali. He then appeared as a villain in director Munawwar Rasheed's film Bahadur, director Iqbal Yusuf's film Daal mein kala, and director Javed Hashmi's film Dil ne tujhay maan liya.
[edit] Stardom
The late director Rafiq Rizvibapu's films Shararat and Khamosh raho (1964) were the first two films in which Ali appeared as a hero, which led to a long and successful career for him as the hero for innumerable super hit movies. Moreover, he produced many movies as well.
Mohammad Ali has served as the Cultural Advisor to Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif's government. Apart from that he has been associated with the Construction business for many years.
[edit] Trivia
- According to a newspaper report, he owed Rs. 1700 to Radio Pakistan Karachi's cafeteria in his initial days. Recently he has urged the cafeteria's cashier to retain his name in their records with the same amount, and that he is willing to pay as much money as is demanded to keep up the old records, since it reminds him of those bad times.
[edit] Family
The daughter of his wife Zeba, Samina (from Zeba's previous first marriage with abdul-smad) was the center of attraction for Mohammad Ali. He gave her the name Samina Ali and loved her dearly.
After his retirement from films, Mohammad Ali was asked in a television show about his dissociation from the films, and he said: The atmosphere in which I was accustomed to work for films and the way films were made have entirely changed, hence I called it quits.
Mohammad Ali died at the age of 75 due to a heart attack in Lahore, on March 19, 2006.
