MUMBAI: Kader Khan’s death hoax made the rumour mills run yesterday, the veteran actor's son Sarfaraz Khan dismissed the spiteful speculations and disclosed to PTI, "It is all a lie. It is just a rumour. My father is in the hospital,” he said.

The veteran actor Kadar Khan, who is currently hospitalized in Canada for health reasons, has acted in more than 300 films. This multifaceted actor is also an accomplished dialogue writer, who has penned dialogues for more than 250 films like Amar Akbar Anthony, Aunty No.1, Ganga Jamuna Saraswati and Hatya to name a few.

Looking at his illustrious career it is sheer irony that the actor with copious talent has not been recognized and it’s unbelievable that he has yet to receive a Padma Shri, whereas many of his juniors have received more prestigious awards than him.
