Javed Akhtar was captivated upon hearing the melodious voice of a Pakistani singer online. On Friday, he expressed his admiration on Twitter, inviting the 'gentleman' to reach out so they could collaborate.

"I just watched a gentleman named Muazzam saheb on YouTube performing 'yeh nain deray deray.' I would appreciate it if he could get in touch with me. I would be grateful if he could sing a few songs for us," Javed stated. Fans quickly responded by sharing videos of the singer in question.

Who is Moazzam who impressed Javed Akhtar

The lyricist is likely alluding to Moazzam Ali Khan, a singer from Pakistan. He frequently shares videos of his performances on Instagram and YouTube, with his most recent being a cover of Hemant Kumar's "Ye Nayan Dare Dare." His vocal style bears a striking resemblance to that of the late Indian ghazal icon Jagjit Singh.

Notably, actor Hrithik Roshan and singer Rekha Bharadwaj have engaged with his video by liking and commenting on it. One commenter even informed him that Javed Akhtar was seeking to connect with him. "Muazzam Saheb, Javed Akhtar Sahab just viewed your rendition of 'Yeh Nain Deray Deray' on YouTube and was genuinely impressed! He has shown interest in having you perform a few songs for him. Please reach out to him at your earliest convenience. This presents a fantastic opportunity!"

On his Instagram account, Moazzam has posted videos of himself performing "Koi Fariyad" from the film Tum Bin, originally sung by Jagjit Singh, as well as "Dil Dhoondta Hai" by Bhupinder Singh, and "Tumko Dekha Toh Ye," also by Jagjit Singh.

In addition to his singing, Moazzam is an actor who has appeared in several television series. He frequently shares clips from these shows on his social media platforms.
