I find it interesting to compare the filmy careers of G M Durrani and Surendra Nath. Both of them were tall and handsome and amateur singers. While G M Durrani virtually ran away from his home town Peshawar for Bombay (Mumbai) to pursue a filmy career, Surendra came to Bombay after completing his education (B.A., LLB) to become a lawyer. But a chance meeting with Mehboob Khan in 1936 changed his career path and he became a singer-actor in his first film ‘Deccan Queen’ (1936). Because of his singing style, he was seen as a clone of K L Saigal. In fact, he was called ‘Bombay Saigal’ after his parody song birhaa ki aag lagi more man mein based on K L Saigal’s baalam aaye baso more man mein. G M Durrani also started his stint with the film industry around the same time (1935-36) as an actor-singer in ‘Saaed-e-Hawas’.
