Today the best Indian film director K. Asif (K.Asif) is 100 years old from birth. De. Asif is known for the historical film Mughal-e-Azam. Asif made only 2 movies in his career. At the time when movies were made for 5 to 10 lakh rupees, in that period he had invested 1.5 million rupees in this film. It is said that this movie is K.Asif’s passion. There are many interesting anecdotes related to this movie and K. Asif as K. Asif wanted memorable music for Mughle Azam so he once went to Naushad and handed a suitcase full of notes to Naushad for the best music. But Naushad didn’t like this thing at all and he threw that K Asif suitcase out the window and said: Asif ji doesn’t come from memorable musical notes. Now that K.Asif had realized his mistake, he apologized to Naushad and Naushad agreed.
The music was made, but what voice should be put into it for it to become the best, so what was it that Naushad, after hearing about the voice, suggested the name of Bade Ghulam Ali Sahab? But Bade Ghulam Ali did not sing in movies, so he demanded 25000 rupees from K.Asif, this was a form of refusal from Bade Ghulam Ali.
But where was K.Asif going to believe? He handed the check for 10 thousand to Ghulam at the same time and said Ghulam Sahib, you are priceless. Now Bade Ghulam Ali had no choice but to say no, so he said yes.
Similarly, one day the shooting of Mughal-e-Azam was taking place in the desert where Prithviraj Kapoor was shooting a scene of walking on hot sand. But during this time his feet got blistered from the hot sand and K. Asif found out about it. So what was after that? When that scene was re-shot, then Prithviraj would walk on the sand in front of the camera and K.Asif on the back camera. In this way his delivery was understood by all.
