On S.D. Burman’s 119th birth anniversary on Wednesday, actor Jackie Shroff remembered the late legendary icon.
Jackie took to Instagram stories, where he shared a monochrome picture of Burman, who was a member of the Tripura royal family.
“Remembering S D Burman ji on his Birth Anniversary,” Jackie wrote.
Burman started his career with Bengali films in 1937. He later began composing for Hindi movies and became one of the most successful and influential Indian film music composers. The icon composed the soundtracks for over 100 movies, including Bengali films and Hindi.
Apart from being a versatile composer, he also sang songs in folk style of East Bengal and light semi-classical. Burman's compositions were sung by the leading singers of the era, including Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, Mohammed Rafi, Geeta Dutt, Manna Dey, Hemant Kumar, Asha Bhosle, Shamshad Begum, Mukesh and Talat Mahmood.
S. D. Burman went into a coma soon after rehearsing the song "Badi Sooni Sooni Hai" for the film Mili. After lingering in a coma for some days, he died on 31 October 1975 in Mumbai.
