I miss the lanes of my village a lot in the streets of Mumbai. I have gone from a very small place to a very big world. The journey from Muzaffarnagar to Mumbai was not easy. When I wrote a song for the movie Chakravyuh released in 2012, Tata-Ambani filed a case against me. This is what AM Turaz, the lyricist of super hit movies like Bajirao Mastani, Padmavat, has to say AM Turaz, a resident of Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh, went to Mumbai at the age of 19. His family members were landlords. They said- study and do farming. Turaz wanted to do something different from the world. He used to get very upset seeing the crime in his area. Turaz was fond of reading and poetry since childhood. He used to go to mushairas with his father. His father is very well versed in Urdu. However, he did not want his son to make it his profession in future. Watching TV was considered a crime at AM Turaz’s house. He used to secretly go to other people’s houses and watch TV. When his father came to know about this, he would scold him. With time, he understood that it would not be right to stop his son for too long. He then said – Do whatever you want to do, we will support you. With his father’s consent, Turaz went to Mumbai. For one and a half years, he also got expenses from his father. A.M. Turaz shared his journey with Dainik Bhaskar in Lucknow. During this, he also mentioned the top business families of the country.

This city has given great writers and poets. Question: You have been working in the film world for a long time, how has the journey been so far? Answer: It has been 20 years, this journey has been like a masala film. God has given a lot. Many people started the journey with us, but did not reach the destination. Question: You have given hit songs in films, what is the formula?
Answer: The film is big, the song is a small part. The film and the singer have a hand in making a song a hit. Nothing is possible alone. Question: You have been working in Bollywood for two decades, what changes did you feel?
Answer: Change came with time. I would say to the people in the industry that do not make a film by copying anyone. Writers and film makers should work on their own style. If a film is successful, then everyone wants to make a film like that. Every actor wants to work like that. This is not right. Question: Sanjay Leela Bhansali is your favourite, what is the reason?
Answer: Sanjay ji is quite different. He understands things. Wants to do something different. He lives music. He is presenting cinema at the international level. Heeramandi was liked all over the world. It was the most watched web series. This is the result of his foresight and understanding. Question: The era of rap has come in Bollywood songs, obscenity is also being served, how do you see it?

Question: The era of rap has come in Bollywood songs, obscenity is also being served, how do you see it? Answer: This is not good for our society, everything seems fine within limits. Item numbers are needed in a film, but it is important to be within limits. All kinds of people come to cinemas, so good things should be served. Question: In your Shayari, you talk about the youth, you tell about their struggle.
Answer: My journey was full of struggle. I write by feeling that. I left Muzaffarnagar and went to Delhi and then Mumbai. In such times, if someone asks about my well being, gives me support, it is a big thing. Question: When you wrote a song on Tata-Ambani, a case was filed against you, was that a difficult time?
Answer: The people who were talked about in that song are brands. Their surnames are examples. We did not write the song to hurt anyone, but on the situation of the film. If anyone felt hurt, we apologize even today.

Vineet Kumar Singh is a name that has explained the meaning of struggle in the true sense. In today’s world, we get tired of struggling for a year or two and prove ourselves to be miserable. Vineet Kumar came to Mumbai around 2000. It has been 25 years. During this time he has appeared in many films, but he has got real recognition only now. In a country like India, studying medicine is no less than a war in itself. Vineet studied medicine only so that he could see patients at night and give auditions for films during the day. Those who are fond of cinema must have seen him in films like Gangs of Wasseypur and Mukkabaaz. His work was definitely appreciated in both these films, but he did not get any special recognition. The film Chhava, released on February 14, has probably given Vineet the recognition he always deserved. In this film, he has played the character of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj’s friend Kavi Kalash. Today in Success Story, read the story of actor Vineet Kumar..
