After coming to Mumbai, Anjan had to start a long struggle. His Banaras friend Shashi Babu introduced him to singer Mukesh, who listened to his poems and encouraged him to write songs for films.

With the help of Mukesh, he got work in Premnath’s film ‘Prisoner of Golconda’. The songs of this film were written by an unknown person, but this film was a flop, but the audience liked the songs. This was the period when unknown people had to give tuition to children to earn their living. Teaching tuition was not just a means of earning money for him, but it was also an important part of the story of his struggle and hard work.

Got a chance after a long struggle
His hard work and dedication paid off and after a long struggle of 17 years, he got a chance in the film ‘Godaan’. The songs of this film gave him recognition and brought stability in his work. After this he got the opportunity to write songs in Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz’s film ‘Bandhan’, in which his song ‘Bina Badra Ke Bijuriya’ became very famous.

After this he worked with Kalyanji-Anandji, Bappi Lahiri, Laxmikant-Pyarelal and R.D. Worked with legendary musicians like Burman. He gave Bollywood hit songs like ‘Khaike Paan Banaras Wala’, ‘Pipra Ke Patwa Sareekha Dole Manwa’ and ‘Bina Badra Ke Bijuriya’. The sweetness of Bhojpuri and Purvanchal was reflected in his songs and his writings touched the hearts of people.

Anjan died on 3 September 1997 at the age of 67. His legacy is not only his songs but also his struggle and hard work.
