Sajjaad Hussain – the enigmatic genius of the industry. A self trained composer par excellence, for whom the venerated Anil Biswas has used the epithet of the “only original composer” in Hindi films.

When Manoj Kumar approached him for lyrics and music for his film on the life of Bhagat Singh, the first thing he did was he traveled to Banga village in Punjab, and personally met with the Bhagat Singh’s moher, Mata Vidyawati ji. He talked with her about the legendary martyr, his childhood, his time in college, and as a freedom fighter. And the time he spent in the prison.
