Stories of the rivalry between Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle are legendary, so much so that Sai Paranjpye’s 1998 film Saaz was reportedly based on their relationship.But now, the man responsible for bringing the two singing legends on one stage is their younger brother, Pandit Hridayanath Mangeshkar.
