It was his first major role; he had played a bit role in ''Sharif Badmash'', a silent film. He followed his good work in ''Daasi'' and with Pancholi's ''Dhamki'' and ''Aayee Bahar''.

 Om Prakash soon became a household name. He was good in almost every character he played. He was the comedian, the family man burdened with problems, the accountant, the alcoholic fallen on bad days because of the evil designs of the villain, the nagged husband, the old man in love, the wily politician and the big brother with a heart of gold. He played an assortment of characters with the same ease and had some of the best directors vying for him every time they had a role which they felt only he could play. His role in Gopi is still remembered, some analysts believe he has overshadowed Dilip Saab.
