' Khoya Khoya Chand', whose rights I could not unfortunately get for my film. There must have been a favourite Rafi song that inspired you to venture into direction. There was no interference in each other’s work. We had clear outlines that whatever we filmed would be a part of my documentary and whatever she wrote would be a part of her book. She had to meet a lot of people to interview for the book. I suggested to her that we should work together on the project.
Sujata Dev wanted to write a book on Mohammed Rafi. When did you get the idea of making a documentary on Mohammed Rafi? In an interview with Scroll.in, Acharya said that making the film was a lifelong dream and could have been done only once, like Ramesh Sippy’s Sholay (1975).
All of them testify to Rafi’s integrity, generosity with time and money, and act of charity towards the needy. Produced and co-directed by Rajni Acharya, the film includes reminiscences from members of Rafi’s family, including his daughters Yasmeen, Parveen and Nasreen, as well as from the actors Dilip Kumar, Manoj Kumar, Jeetendra and Shammi, Rishi and Randhir Kapoor. The documentary Dastaan-e-Rafi took five years to make, so it is not surprising that the 120-minute film tells the story of the playback singer Mohammed Rafi through over 60 interviews and more than 60 hit songs.
