Anu Malik
In the year 1993, the film Baazigar was released in theaters on 12 November. This film made records in Bollywood in the 90s. This film gave Shahrukh Khan his first step to fame. But Shahrukh Khan was not the only one who got Bollywood from this film. The film gave such a treasure of music to Bollywood that its superhits took Hindi songs to every village. The craze for his songs is still prevalent in people’s minds even after 30 years. This musician is none other than Anu Malik. Anu Malik is celebrating his 64th birthday today. Anu Malik has inherited music.
Anu Malik’s father Sardar Malik has also been one of the best music composers of Bollywood. However, father Sardar Malik did not get the fame he deserved. But Sardar Malik’s son Anu Malik earned such a name in the world of music that hardly anyone knows him. Anu Malik wanted to carry forward this inherited musical art. Anu Malik’s brother Dabboo Malik is also a musician and singer. Dabboo Malik played the young character of Bhishma Pitamah in BR Chopra’s superhit serial Mahabharata.
Kept making songs in anonymity for 12 years
Anu Malik is called the best music composer of the 90s. When Anu Malik was honored with the Filmfare Award for Best Music Director for the music of the film Baazigar, people’s attention fell on him. The songs of this film were a hit. But even before this, Anu Malik kept composing songs in films for about 12 years, but did not get fame. The music composer’s career started with the film ‘Aaps Ki Baat’ released in the year 1981 and continued continuously. He started making music for about 2-3 films every year and started finding his place in Bollywood. During this period, he worked in more than 40 films including Mangal Pandey, Doodh Ka Karz, Awaragi.
