Bahadoor started a [[monochrome|black and white]] processing studio in [[Trivandrum]] named K. C. Lab. But the studio's establishment was ill-timed as films were shifting to colour. This caused financial troubles for Bahadoor and finally the studio was taken over by people to whom Bahadoor was indebted. Bahdoor also started a film distribution company only to face failures. He produced few films all of which failed at the box office. Even with his commercial debacles from the industry, he could meet his family's monetary requirements and mark his presence in the field of acting. | Bahadoor started a [[monochrome|black and white]] processing studio in [[Trivandrum]] named K.
