For those who are not familiar with telugu films...Rafi sang telugu songs in many telugu films but in a rare instance, he sang hindi songs in the film Bhakta ramadasu. The story behind is poignant and touching. The producer of the film is Sri V. Nagaiah, a respected actor, singer, music director, producer and director. Truly a multi faceted personality, he is well known for exemplary on screen as well as off screen persona.
Nagaiah turned producer and director and made many movies out of which "Tyagaiah" was the most successful. Besides his stature and status as a South Indian movie icon Nagaiah was a wonderful human being and was humility personified. He helped persons, not always in distress, which landed him in financial difficulties during his last years. For example, because his film "Bhakta Ramadas" was under production for many years, he had to sell all his assets to complete the project. The film did well but Nagaiah benefited little. Nagaiah invited the famous Hindi film singer Mohammed Rafi over to sing the Urdu songs of the Muslim saint, Kabir, which was a major role in "Bhakta Ramadas." When Rafi was given his remuneration , he returned it to Nagaiah, and was kind enough to ask him whether he could be of any further help financially in the making of the picture. Infact Rafi sahab himself bore his air fare from mumbai to chennai. Such was the regard and affection Rafi had for Nagaiah even though he had earlier seen him only on screen in the Hindi version of "Meera." I was able to find two songs from the said film. I dont know who the music director is for that film . in all probability it should be Nagaiah himself. For me this songs are special because they signify the unification of two great souls. May thier souls rest in peace.... Film Bhakta Ramadasu 1. Dil ko hamare darshan dena 5.51 mts, mp3, 128 kbps 2. Kahe ko rona 2.51 mts, mp3, 128 kbps After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
