The "guy" in question is the film actor Rajkumar; the scene is from the movie "Mere Huzoor". In the first ten seconds of the clip you can see his right hand plucking cluelessly at the strings. Subsequent shots of the right hand show the strings being plucked in a manner both technically accurate and co-ordinated with the soundtrack. Presumably it's the hand of the guy who actually did the er, play-back. I don't know who he is, but a prime contender is the maestro Abdul Halim Jaffar Khan.
For those who say rais Khan was not involved in Bombay film industry... He was the one who played sitar in the iconic ghazal of Madan Mohan sahab and Lata ji AAJ SOCHA TOH AANSU BHAR AAYE
Rais Khan was not known for his involvement with the Bombay film industry. OTOH Halim Jafar certainly was. He also played the Sitar part in the song Madhuban mein Radhika.
@abhikmaj lol just randomly pick madanmohans song and see Ustad Rais Khan performing see the movie heer HASTE ZAKHM specialy aaj socha toh aansoo bhar aaye who is playing the awesome sitar without Rais khans sitar pieces this and many songs are incomplete unthinkable.
My remark was not intended to be a slur on RK. Even having played for so many movies, he was known mainly as a concert artiste. Halim Jafar Khan's movie recordings on the other hand, run into thousands easily.
no shot of him with Sitar in full. Could be a player from the Vilayat Khan gharana. And yes I have read about this finger bleeding thing before, about Sitar players....well unless I am an Iron man, I haven't bled in 20 years of playing it :-)
