In the meantime, Mehmood learned to drive and started working as a driver with producer Gyan Mukherjee. The main reason for this was that on the pretext, he used to get the opportunity to go to the studio every day with the owner where he could see the artists up close. After this, Mehmood also worked as a driver at the house of lyricists Gopal Singh Nepali, Bharat Vyas, Raja Mehendi Ali Khan and producer PL Santoshi.
The star of Mehmood's luck shone when a junior artist in front of actress Madhubala failed to communicate even after ten consecutive retakes during the shooting of the film 'Naadan'. Film director Heera Singh gave Mehmood to speak the dialogue and the scene was okay without retake. This marked the beginning of Mehmood's film career. And he acted in more than one hit film for the audience.
