Mukesh started his filmy career in Hindi film industry as an actor-singer in ‘Nirdosh’ (1941). But it was his song dil jaltaa hai to jalne de in ‘Pehli Nazar’ (1945) which paved the way for him to become a successful playback singer. Somehow, Mukesh seemed to have been beaten by the acting bug. He acted in films like ‘Aah’ (1953), ‘Maashooqa’ (1953) and in his own production ‘Anuraag’ (1956). He had also produced two films – ‘Malhar’ (1951) which was a success in the box office. However, he did not act in this film. His second film as producer was ‘Anuraag’ (1956) in which he also acted in a lead role and composed music for the film. The film was a flop. With this, his foray into acting as well as music directin in Hindi films came to an end.

His career as a singer was sugffering as a result, because he was not getting too many assignments as a playback singer. To make matters worse, the movies that he produced and acted in, were proving out to be box office disasters.

So much so that he began to produce his own movies in which he acted as hero and sang his own songs. But his ventures into movie making ended up in disaster as he not only lost money and ended up on the verge of bankruptcy, his career as a playback singer too almost came to an end because he stopped getting singing assignments from outside movies.
