Anu Malik is a music director in the Hindifilm industry. The son of veteran composer Sardar Malik, Anu Malik made his debut in 1981 with Poonam.
He composed for various films like Sohni Mahiwal and Ganga Jamuna Saraswathi, but he did not get the required attention, or recognition.
Despite his success, he was often not taken seriously and accused of being a copycat. This changed with Border and Refugee, for which he won the National Award.
