He was engaged with film along with Jahir Raihan during the liberation war in 1971.
They recalled that Razzak went to study film in Filmalaya in Mumbai, India in 1961. Returning from Mumbai, he performed in two movies in Kolkata, ‘Pankotilak’ and ‘Shilalipi’. However, the Hindu-Muslim riot which broke out in 1964 forced Razzak and his family to migrate to Dhaka. After migrating to East Pakistan, Razzak found the path to stardom was not easy. Initially, he acted in TV plays. He became a favorite of the viewers of Pakistani television, acting in the series ‘Ghoroa’.”
