During that point of time silent cinema was also introduced but still stage drama was at its blossom. Silent film being new were attracting the attention of general public so to take part in the films he moved from Chennai (Madras) to Bombay in early 30s and started appearing as an extra in silent films. But after the release of talkies in 1932 it suppress the stage drama and silent films as well. With the downfall of silent films actors attached with it were also in difficulty as mostly they were not competent enough to deliver dialogues. But at the same time the artist and extra of silent films who were fluent in their dialogue delivery was the most beneficiary of talkie cinema. Since Ghulam Muhammad had very good grip over dialogue delivery with his acting ability so he was also lucky enough to made his place in cinema artist. In the start he uttered only a single line dialogues and was picked by the director and producer to be casted in Naik Ebla as villain.
