1968 Indian film
Khiladi is a 1968 Hindi action film directed by Homi Wadia for Basant Pictures.[1] It was produced under the Homi Wadia Production banner with music composed by Lala Sattar and lyrics written by Faruk Kaiser.[2] Fearless Nadia starred in nearly fifty Wadia films, making stunt history starting with Hunterwali (1935).[3] Khiladi was Nadia's last role in films.[4] The film starred Nadia, Dilip Raj, Sujata, Amarnath, Suzie, Uma and Vishwas Kunte.[5]
Nadia had last done an action role nine years earlier. Around the age of fifty-eight she made a flamboyant come-back in a cleverly executed "James Bond" type character in Khiladi where she was code-named "Living Fireball".[6][7]
