"I was completely enamoured of Nayak Raj Razzak's performances in 'Ora Egaro Jon' and 'Alor Michhil'. He played the role of a patriotic revolutionary in both of these films. Amongst his romantic films, I love the innocence of 'Nil Akasher Niche' and 'Moina Moti'," said Arifin Shuvoo.

Symon Sadik expressed that he loves the film, "Moina Moti". He even signed a remake of this film under the banner of Jaaz Multimedia, but unfortunately, he could not be a part of the project. If given the opportunity, Symon would have loved to work under Razzak's direction in movies like "Sautbhai", "Baba Keno Chaakor" and "Modhur Milon".

"Nayak Raj Razzak remains an inspiration. I watched 'Chhutir Ghonta' at a very young age, and I was fascinated by his impeccable performance. I would love to play his role in 'Chhutir Ghonta' if I am ever given the opportunity. That being said, Nayak Raj Razzak's talent remains unmatchable," Siam Ahmed told The Daily Star. "I would have liked to be a part of films like "Baba Keno Chaakor", "Nil Akasher Niche" and "Rajlokkhi Srikanto".

"I consider myself lucky to have acted in the remake of Nayak Raj Razzak's 'Moina Moti'. I watched the remake with him after it was released, which was a huge achievement for me as an actor," shared Bappy Chowdhury. "I was supposed to act in the remake of 'Abujh Mon'. When Nayak Raj Razzak came to know about it, he told that it was one of his favourite movies. He encouraged me to work thoughtfully."

Bappy admires Razzak for his versatility. "I would have loved to work under Nayak Raj Razzak's direction in "Ananta Prem". If given the opportunity, I would love to play his role in 'Taka Ana Pai', if it is ever remade," he said.

Born on January 23, 1942 in South Kolkata, Nayak Raj Razzak acted in close to 500 movies in his illustrious career.
