In 1991, Ilyasi went to London to work as a cameraman for TV Asia. In 1995, he made the pilot for a
crime show, with his wife. Initially, most channels were reluctant to take the show until Zee TV picked it.
Ilyasi started the TV show India's Most Wanted in March 1998 on Zee TV. India's Most Wanted was
initially planned for 52 episodes but it was renewed by Zee TV. The show at its peak had reportedly 10–
12[21] TRP. About 135 criminals featured on the show were caught. Shri Prakash Shukla, a wanted
hitman featured on the show, was killed by police. The police later said that Ilyasi took credit unduly and
the police had worked for months on the case. Following the success of his show, Ilyasi said that he was
getting threats and requested police security. In 1999, he played himself in the film Phir Bhi Dil Hai
Hindustani. Later, he parted ways with his partner Vinod Nayar and went to start Fugitive Most Wanted
on Doordarshan. Zee TV, which owned the copyright, continued to produce India's Most Wanted and
Manoj Raghuvanshi became the host. After his wife's death, in 2003 he tried to make a film on Shri
Prakash Shukla called Wanted No. 1 where he was supposed to play the lead character. But, the film
failed to take off. He produced, directed and acted in another film, Kamyab Rasta (2004) called, co-
starring Poonam Dariyanani. He then went to work with India TV, where he conducted several sting
operations. Soon, he restarted India's Most Wanted on India TV. In 2005, actors Shakti Kapoor and Aman
Verma were the targets of some of these sting operations
