I first heard the
title track of Sabse Bada Rupaiya in its recreated avatar on the
soundtrack of the 2005 Abhishek Bachchan-starrer Bluffmaster!
The fact that yesteryears’ funnyman Mehmood’s voice (which I was familiar with) was retained in that version prompted me to search for the original a few years later.
That was when I realised that he wasn’t just the actor it was picturised on, and the singer of course, but also the producer of the film.
Majrooh Sultanpuri penned the song, which R D Burman’s assistants, Basu Chakraborty and saxophonist Manohari Singh, composed.
