It was Aziz’s breakthrough song

Manmohan Desai, a Laxmikant-Pyarelal loyalist post-Roti (1974), opted for Anu Malik to compose the songs of his 1985 film Mard.

Upon Mohammed Rafi’s death, the filmmaker was perhaps on the lookout for voices that resembled that of the legend, and one of those happened to be the voice of Mohammed Aziz, who rendered Mard Tangewala, the title track of the aforementioned film (which was the only song from the film on this blog).

Prayag Raj penned it.

Incidentally, Shabbir Kumar, whose voice was also similar to Rafi’s voice, sang the other songs in the film.
