I came across this profile which has a biography that claims he is well known. Googling however yields no reliable sources other than some user edited site entries. There's no newspaper articles, book hits or anything that verifies that this actor actually exists. I've checked the films listed and none of them credit this actor. I think this is potentially someone trying to gain fame by creating a false entry.

Your cautiousness is welcome, moreover almost all credits are uncredited. But, when it comes to Indian film industry, IMDb is far from being helpful, let alone reliable, despite the effort invested in the past couple of years.
You might turn out to be a well known second- or third-level figure in films and not being credited according to crediting rules in the Indian industry.
Moreover, the career spans over 4 decades which might contradict the move to create a pseudo fame. To me, this profile sounds still plausible, but as mentioned, your cautiousness is welcome.

As Vincent Fournois notes, almost all his appearances are uncredited. But I see that the page for the film Naseeb does credit him.

But not the film credits themselves. They do not have a credit for him.

Got that, but as far as I know, Indian film credits are not as comprehensive as modern US ones.

Well putting aside the issue of on-screen credits, if the actor is as notable as claimed he would be covered in newspaper articles or books. A career spanning as long as stated in the entry would not go unnoticed if it was real. As it stands however there's no acknowledgement from any such services.

Well yes it's a screencap from a movie so it may be recognizable but there's nothing to verify that the name corresponds to that face.

Any progress?
Please note that a cast member needs to have at least one credited entry in the database before we will list their uncredited work. If we have accepted uncredited entries, these will automatically go live upon acceptance of credited entries. We may make an exception in very rare/specific circumstances (e.g. on movies released before 1990, episodes released before 2000 and/or for high-profile credits, such as an uncredited cameo appearance by a celebrity), but in most cases we will not list an uncredited credit unless you have a pre-existing credited filmography. <----
I saw this and it's applicable as all the credits are uncredited as the credits of Naseeb does not credit him either.

Well the high profile exception would apply in that case due to media coverage which isn't the case here.
Further the other exception of being pre-1990 would not apply because it is claimed he was active from 1990 through 2004 yet no credits exist.

Hi all,
Upon researching the credits I have been able to confirm that he was not credited in the title Naseeb, as such I have added the attribute of uncredited to this title. We do believe that Surendra Rahi has been a background actor in these titles and so will not be removing the name page at this time.
Currently all credits on the page are listed as uncredited. As stated in our guidelines we will not display filmographies consisting exclusively of uncredited work. We do, however, make an exception for movies released before 1990. As many of the uncredited entries on his page are from titles pre-1990 his credits will display on IMDb along with the uncredited attribute.
