Later, Anoop also ventured into cinema with Ashok's help. Spending time with his brothers, Kishore became interested in films and music. Kishore Kumar became a fan of singer-actor K. L. Saigal—whom he considered his guru—and tried to emulate his singing styleCareerAfter Ashok became a star of Hindi films, the Ganguly family visited Mumbai regularly. Abhas Kumar changed his name to Kishore and startedKishore Kumarcinema career as a chorus singer at Bombay Talkies, where his brother worked. Kumar's first film appearance was in Shikari (1946), in which his brother Ashok played the lead role.

Kumar (himself a Bengali) had done a stage show organized by another
Bengali man, and Kishore Kumar
was involved in a fight with this man over money
matters. he
had instructed his gatekeeper to drive away this "Bengali",
if he ever visited the house. When Hrishikesh Mukherjee (another
Bengali) went to Kishore Kumar's house, the gatekeeper drove him away,
mistaking him for the "Bengali" that Kishore Kumar had asked him to
drive away. The incident hurt Hrishikesh Mukherjee so much, that he
decided not to work with Kishore Kumar. Consequently, Mehmood had to
leave the film as well, and new actors (Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh
