Career

His body of work is a showcase of the storyteller's art. The humor in his scripts is real. He never exaggerates the subject and uses real-life humor. One can see an undercurrent of social issues in his screenplays but with the treatment, laced with humor. He is fascinated by the satirical way Mushtaq Ahmad Yusufi dealt with serious issues. Desi Rants n Raves wrote "Mohammed Ahmed is a seasoned writer and his flair for penning relatable and real stories is on full display in most of his work. With no black or white extremes, a simple story on the surface, his script appears to have layers of meaning embedded within crisp and meaningful dialogues."
He returned to acting with the family-drama film Cake. He has also acted in various drama series including Ehd E Wafa, Suno Chanda, Mere Paas Tum Ho, Aulaad and Sabaat. His performance in these series is widely praised by viewers and critics.
