Premnath born in Peshawar on November 21, 1926. He was an actor in Indian films. Premnath made his film debut in Ajit. He got major roles in Raj Kapoor first directorial film Aag and Barsaat (1949) which was his first major success.
Premnath went on to appear in many films for the next three decades, some of which were the biggest blockbusters in Indian film history. Some of Premnath's most notable films were Aan (1952), Teesri Manzil (1966), Johny Mera Naam (1970), Tere Mere Sapne (1971), Roti Kapada Aur Makaan (1974), Dharmatma (1975), Kalicharan (1976) and Desh Premee (1982). He also starred in the religious Punjabi film Sat Sri Akal (1977).
He fell in love with actress Bina Rai during the filming of Aurat. They married and formed a production company together called P.N. films. They pinned high hopes for their films, which didn't become hits, such as "Shagufa," "Prisoner of Golconda," "Samunder" and "Watan." Thus, the Premnath-Bina Rai pairing never clicked on the screen.
Premnath earned Filmfare nominations as Best Supporting Actor for Shor (1972), Bobby (1973), Amir Garib (1974), and Roti Kapda Aur Makaan (1974). Apart from Bollywood films, the actor also appeared in an episode of the American television series Maya in 1967 and a 1969 American film titled Kenner opposite former football player turned actor Jim Brown.
His last film appearance was in Hum Dono (1985) after which he retired from acting. He died on November 3, 1992 of a heart attack at the age of 66.
