(Rajendra) Star (1982)

Biddu (see the picture below) or Biddu Appaiah hailed originally from Karnataka. He is a composer, lyricist, and music producer. He settled in England when he was very young. During early 70’s he produced and composed several hit records. He gave a boost to the careers of British singers like Tina Charles, Carl Douglas, and Jimmy James. He was also responsible for launching Nazia Hassan’s career. He produced several Indian pop music albums. Among these is the album “Made in India” with Alisha Chinai as the singer. Many people believe that the success of that album augured Indian pop music. Incidentally Biddu initially approached Nazia to sing the songs for that album but because of the title and the songs in the album she declined to do it.

Biddu also produced several pop instrumental albums under the name of Biddu Orchestra. He is still active and his current interests are centered mainly on spiritual subjects including eastern philosophy.


Nazia Hassan (see the picture below), born in Pakistan, was only 15 years when she sang the song “Aap Jaisa” in “Qurbani”. While shooting portions of the movie in England, the actor, producer, and director of the movie “Qurbani (1980)”, Feroz Khan, was introduced to Nazia by Biddu, a friend of Khan. Feroz gave her the opportunity to sing in “Qurbani”. The song “Aap Jaisa Koi” became an overnight sensation and brought her recognition throughout the world. She won the Filmfare Award as the Best Female Singer for that song.

Based in England, with her singer brother Zoheb Hassan she released several albums. She sold over 55 million albums all over the world in a short span of time. She retired early to focus on her personal life. She gave away all the monies earned in charity. Nazia lived a very simple life devoting most of her time for charities. She was only 35 when she passed away from the complications resulting from lung cancer.



Zoheb Hassan (see the picture below) is the brother of Nazia Hassan. He developed interest in music when he was in late teens. He started taking guitar lessons from several prominent teachers and before long became very good at it. When his family shifted to London, he along with his sister made a singing team. They released several albums, most of them runaway best sellers. The soundtrack of the film “Star” was based on their hit album released earlier as “Star/Boom Boom”. Nazia appeared in the film singing the song “Boom Boom”.

When Nazia got married and decided to quit singing, Zoheb also became inactive. After Nazia’s unexpected death at a tender young age, he called it quits. Zoheb currently runs his own company, a leading media and entertainment company in Pakistan.

(Sunil) Rocky (1981)

Sunil Dutt produced, directed and appeared in this film that launched his son Sanjay Dutt as a hero. Thanks to many fine songs tuned in by RD, the movie made good business. Nargis, mother of Sanjay, was very ill during the filming of this movie. Unfortunately she did not live long enough to see the success her son was to enjoy as she passed away just few weeks before this movie was released.

(Jeetendra) Aap ke Deewane (1980)

For Rakesh Roshan, the actor who made many successful movies as producer and director, this was his maiden production venture. He costarred in this film with Rishi Kapoor, who has been his friend since his childhood. He also is a close friend of Jeetendra. Because there was no suitable role in the film for him, Rakesh requested him to make a guest appearance. Jeetendra agreed and appeared in a dance number in guest role.

Incidentally, Hrithik Roshan, currently one of the popular actors, son of Rakesh, made his debut as a child artiste in this film.
