During early 1950s, the biggest name in male playback singing was Talat Mehmood, and like Suraiyya on the distaff side, he was foraying into acting too.

I do not think too many people may be aware of this movie called “Aadil e Jahangir”(1955). I certainly was not.

This movie incidentally was the debut movie for director Manmohan Desai as well.
