Later, in 1939-40, when the concept of [[playback singing]] started, he was the first to lend his voice for a film titled ''[[Bahurani (1940 film)|Bahurani]]''. The film was made by Sagar Movietone and its music director was [[Rafiq Ghaznavi]]. Durrani was then working as a full-time Singer in AIR ([[Akashvani (radio broadcaster)]]). Those were [[United Kingdom|British]] days and they were not allowed to do any private recordings. But Ghaznavi insisted. Durrani laid down some conditions, like; the [[Sound recording and reproduction|recording]] should be fixed on a Sunday night so that no outsiders would be allowed to enter the [[Recording studio|studio]]. Secondly, he said that his name shouldn't appear in credit titles or on discs. The song was a duet with Miss Rose, an Anglo-Indian, who didn't have much experience as a singer. He was paid Rs.75 for the song as against his salary of Rs.70 a month at AIR ([[Akashvani (radio broadcaster)]]). He then chucked his job on 31 December 1940 and decided to concentrate fully on his film career.<ref name="anmolfankaar.com/"/>
