In some cases, Madan Mohan worked with bigger names too, but that was either before these people actually became stars ( viz Amitabh Bachchan in “Parwana”) or after they had run their courses ( viz Dev Anand in “Sahib Bahadur”). The first movie where Madan Mohan got to work with big name actors was in “Madhosh” (1952) which had Raj Kapoor and Nargis. Unfortunately this movie did not do well at the box office.

Kismat mein khushi ka naaam nahin

Sajjad Hussain, arguably the most original and most creative music director of an era brimming with great music directors, was also a person who was not tactful enough to deal with musically illiterate producers and tended to call a spade a shovel. It was this outspokenness that ensured that he got much less number of assignments than his talent merited.
