A Very Hard Worker, True to His Word
N S Vishwanath, a fellow RMIMer came to see me and I gave him copies of all my Hindi films on a hard disk. He gave them to one of hiss friends Sheo Khetan. One fine day, Sheo informed me that he has copies of all my movies and he would like to do a project based on them. I ignored his request becuase my projects are very labor-intensive. He did not give up, so I requested him to capture photos of all the named actors, and the ones that had a speaking part and even animals. Our hope is to publish a massive album of all the actors who ever worked in Hindi films, to 1960 at least for now.
He started doing it and has finished about 30 films. Here is a sample of his work. Enjoy!

He is actually very well known and his father is Pahadi Sanyal.
Here he is in Tamasha (1952). From left, Al Haroon, Amit Bose, Randhir.
