Nadeem is the only actor in Pakistan to work with four female directors who have also been his co-stars. The directors of the first three films - Shamim Ara, Sangeeta and Samina Peerzada - on numerous occasions played Nadeem's leading ladies during his career. Shamim Ara in 'Parai Aag' and 'Suhaag'; Sangeeta in countless flicks including 'Anari' and 'Mutthi Bhar Chawal' and Samina Peerzada in 'Bazaar-i-Husn' and 'Bulandi'. The director of the last flick in the list - Reema Khan - has worked with Nadeem in over a dozen films mostly as his daughter or the son's love interest.

Nadeem has worked in not one but three films with the same name. While the first 'Anari' and 'Sangdil' were black and white flicks, and the others were in colour, the first 'Talash' was released in 1976 and the other one a decade later. Not only were the stories of all these flicks different but also the directors.
