Muhammad Aziz alias Mana was returning to the fun of the rabbit dream when someone’s voice hit his ears: ‘Hey Mana. Some people have come to visit.’ Muhammad Aziz ignored this voice and thought that he was dreaming. But with frequency they were being called. He was even picked up by someone and then he realized that not in a dream but in reality someone was telling him that musician Anu Malik had come to meet him.
Muhammad Aziz’s happiness had no abode. He was then living in a small room in Gorgaon, a suburb of Bombay. Hearing Anu Malik, he quickly took out his slippers from under the bed and more or less ran to the place where Anu Malik was standing.
For Anu Malik, finding Muhammad Aziz became a mission to fulfill a princess’s wish. 80s was the decade of composer Sardar Malik’s son Anu Malik of various films Music They were arranging but no big hit the film were deprived until now. Anu Malik was lucky to be selected by director Manmohan Desai for Amitabh Bachchan’s film ‘Mard’, but the real test had begun for Anu Malik.
Manmohan Desai was a big fan of Mohammad Rafi and used his voice for most of his films but missed him following the singer’s death. Although Shabbir Kumar was presented as a replacement for Muhammad Rafi, who had also sung in Manmohan Desai’s film ‘Qli’, Manmohan Desai believed that no one else might touch Rafi’s singing.
After choosing Anu Malik as the music composer for his film ‘Mard’, when the title song ‘Mard Tangewala, Main Hoon Mard Tangewala’ was composed, following listening to it, Manmohan Desai said uncontrollably that if there was a singer like Rafi Sahib. Only he can do justice to this song. Anu Malik should find a singer who really reminds Rafi Sahib.
Another headache for Manmohan Desai was the cold war between Amitabh Bachchan and Kishore Kumar. Amitabh Bachchan apologized for appearing as a guest star in Kishore Kumar’s film Mamta Ki Chhaon, which infuriated Kishore Kumar so much that he announced that he would not do background singing for Amitabh Bachchan. Now this was the reason why Shabbir Kumar’s voice was being used more and more for Amitabh Bachchan.
After getting a big director like Manmohan Desai’s film, Anu Malik felt that now his career will travel to a new place, because where the film was directed by Manmohan Desai, the hero was Amitabh Bachchan, but the problem was this. Now find a voice that is like Muhammad Rafi.
Someone told Anu Malik that there is a boy named Muhammad Aziz alias Muna who sings in the same voice as Bahu Rafi Sahib. Bechara keeps going round to many studios but does not add any weed and sometimes he is seen singing Rafi Sahib’s Sada Bahar Geet at some small event. Anu Malik somehow got the address of Muhammad Aziz and then went in search of him.
Unlike today, finding someone at that time was considered the most difficult task in the world. Musician Anu Malik decided to cross this river of fire. Muhammad Aziz was not there at the address he found, and following asking many people, he reached the area of Gur village early in the morning where Muhammad Aziz lived in a part.

Mohammad Aziz might not believe his eyes. Musician Anu Malik was standing in front of him. Anu Malik told Mohammad Aziz that he has to record a song. Muhammad Aziz felt that his intention was evil.
He was ready to leave at that time but then Anu Malik asked him to come next morning. Sleep disappeared from Muhammad Aziz’s eyes that night. Tossed and turned on the bed and waited for the sun to rise. The next day he was opposite Anu Malik in Juhu, Bombay.
Mohammad Aziz was told the song which he took following the rehearsal. Now Muhammad Aziz and Anu Malik’s destination was Manmohan Desai, who, when he heard Muhammad Aziz, said helplessly, ‘This singer will sing.’
Think of a new singer Mohammad Aziz as a lottery. Mohammad Aziz not only sang ‘Mard Tangewala’ but also another song ‘Hum Tu Tambo Mein’ in this film. Both these songs became extremely popular.
When the movie ‘Mard’ hit the theaters on November 8, 1985, it did well because of these songs. However, through ‘Mard’, Bollywood got a melodious singer like Mohammad Aziz and a melodious musician like Anu Malik.
Mohammad Aziz became a necessity for every musician following the movie ‘Mard’. Muhammad Aziz’s quality was also that he used to sing exactly like Muhammad Rafi keeping the hero of the film in mind. It was a great honor for him to be presented as an alternative to Muhammad Rafi.
To pay homage to his beloved singer, a song ‘Muhammad Rafi To Bah Yaad Aya’ was rendered in his voice in the movie ‘Kordh’ which was mirrored on Amitabh Bachchan.
Unfortunately, Muhammad Aziz, who has sung numerous melodious songs, was nominated for the Filmfare Awards only twice but did not win even once. The bigger tragedy is that when new singers arrived, most of the musicians forgot Muhammad Aziz and then on 27th November 2018, this singer quietly passed away.
