He was very much sensitive as well as stubborn. But keeping this sensitivity and stubbornness in heart, he became the Nayak Raj of Bangla.
Before coming to Bangladesh he decided to go to Bombay (currently Mumbai) direct from Calcutta. But at last, this did not happen because of his ‘guru’ Pijush Bose.
While alive, several times he mentioned about these incidents in front of the media.
About this Razzak said, ‘After the communal riot of 1964 I decided to go to Bombay. But my ‘guru’ Pijush Bose said, to build up a career you should go to East Pakistan (Bangladesh), not Bombay.’
Razzak’s family had business and factory in Calcutta. As a family, they were enough rich. But everything became unsettled in the communal riot. After that Razzak decided to migrate to Dhaka. Taking some money in a pocket, he came to Dhaka with his son Bapparaj and wife Laksmi.
At that time Bappa was only 8 years old. This small family settled in a small house in Kamalapur. They had a small sum of money in hand and no source of income. Within a few days, they ran out of money. And the hero faced the harsh realities of life.
The condition of his family was not very good at that time; this became clear in his another comment where he said, ‘I don’t forget my past. I came to this city as a refugee. I struggled a lot. Many days I did not have even a meal to eat. As a result, the greed for money never rises in me.’
After that, Razzak accepted every offer. He gave an audition as a news-presenter and was selected there.

But Zaman Ali Khan stopped him. He said, ‘You are an actor. Why would you work as news presenter?’ And Zaman Ali Khan created an opportunity for him to work in the series Ghoroa.

But the financial crisis of the family became unavoidable then. Razzak went to Kazi Zahir, Mustafiz and Subhash Dutta for help. He told them about his experience of 9-month film course at Sashadhar Mukherjee’s Filmalaya and working experience in Calcutta. Everybody listened about these but nobody could give him a work. But he was not frustrated. He got small roles in ‘Kar Bou’ and ‘13 no Feku Ostagar lean’. But these were not enough for financial support.
Meanwhile, he went to Zahir Raihan. It became a turning point for Razzak. And it will not be inappropriate to tell that with this the Bangla Film Industry got a new direction.
After that, as a hero, his first film ‘Behula’ was released in 67. Rest of this is history; Nayak Raj became the familiar name of Bengali film.
On August 21, at 6:00 pm, Nayak Raj Razzak left the last breath while he was undergoing medical treatments at the United Hospital.
He devoted himself for cinema. He was also a producer and director. He showed his excellence in the films like- ‘Ononto Prem’, ‘Bodnam’, ‘Ovijan’, ‘Baba Keno Chakor’, ‘Professo’, ‘Jogajog’ and ‘Sot Vai’. He produced some remarkable films from his production house ‘Rajlaxmi Film Production.’
In many films like ‘Baba Keno Chakor’ Razzak was seen in crying. He cried for the need of the character and viewers cried seeing his acting. And now his co-actors are crying because they are not going to see such mesmerizing acting.
Not only the co-actors, the whole country is mourning for him. A legendary chapter of Bangla film history ended on 21 August with tears.
