“No-one like him ever came to this industry and it is unlikely that anyone will replace him in near future,” said Sohel Rana in his instant reaction to Razzak’s death on Monday.
“Everyone will die sooner or later. But I am shocked at his sudden death,” said the actor who shared the silver screen with Razzak in some films.
“We worked in three or four films together. He was senior to me.”
He also praised the way Razzak carried himself off-screen. “He was extraordinary as an artiste and a great human being. I never saw him boasting about anything. He was hardworking, modest to his co-actors and dedicated to films.”
“He was a nice man, a lionhearted man.”
