Mr Bhattacharya’s solo waS(an)ubiquitous

While Abhijeet Bhattacharya was usually credited mononymously, one of his contemporaries, who happened to share his last name, was rechristened entirely. And to say that that change did him a world of good is an understatement.

The man in question was Kedarnath Bhattacharya, popularly known as Kumar Sanu.

The soundtrack of Phool Aur Kaante featured another solo by him.

It was titled Premi Aashiq Awaara.

While one composer duo (Kalyanji-Anandji) gave Sanu a new identity, another (Nadeem-Shravan) got the lion’s share of the credit for many of his hit numbers, including this song, which Sameer penned.
