Badar Munir was raised in Swat in a family with a religious background. After completing his elementary school education there, he came to Karachi.
Before joining films, Badar Munir used to drive a rikshaw on Karachi streets. Then he got a job as a lighting technician on actor Waheed Murad's recommendation in a Karachi film studio. He was introduced by Waheed Murad to the film industry in 1970. His first movie was Yousuf Khan Sher Bano (1970), with Yasmin Khan as the heroine. This was the first Pashto language film of the Pakistan film industry in 1970.
