If a Hindi movie is named “Sadhana”, “Raagini”, “Kalpana” etc then one can be rest assured that the movie will not have the actress of that name in these movies. But it is different with a movie title like “Johny Walker” (1957). This movie, which was a Natraj production movie directed by Ved Mohan, had Johny Walker in the title role. The movie also had Shyama, Tony Walker, Raj Mehra, Amar, Sulochana etc in it.
