‘Senapati’ (1961) was produced by Jai Gopal Mohla under the banner Mohla Films and was directed by Kedar Kapoor. The star cast included Prithviraj Kapoor, Nalini Jaywant, Amarnath, Veena, K N Singh, Tiwari, Helen, Durga Khote, Chaman Puri, Heera Sawant, Rajan Kapoor, Janakidas, Jeevan Kala, Madhumati etc. I heard the name of the producer, J G Mohla for the first time. Before this film, he had produced ’Insaan’ (1952) and ‘Ehsaan’ (1954). After ‘Senapati’ (1961), he seems to have vanished from Hindi films. But when I saw the name of Madan Mohla as the Associate Producer of this film, it gave me a hint of some connection with J G Mohla. Madan Mohla is a familiar name because of some of his box office hit films like ‘Sharafat’ (1972), ‘Raja Jani’ (1974), ‘Dus Numbri’ (1976) etc. The online search revealed that Madan Mohla was the son of Jai Gopal Mohla (J G Mohla). Incidentally, Madan Mohla was also the assistant director under director Kedar Kapoor for this film.

‘Kaabli Khan’ (1963) was produced and directed by K Amarnath under his banner, K Amarnath Productions. The cast included Ajit, Helen, Jayant, Ulhas, Samson, Salim Khan, Indira Bansal, Mukri, W M Khan, Amrit Rana etc. The film belonged to costume drama genre. This was the first film for Helen as a lead actress. Incidentally, it was also in K Amarnath’s film in which Helen got her first opportunity of solo dance performance. Another interesting thing about this film is that for the first time, Salim Khan and Helen have worked together though they did not have any dialogues between them. In this film, Salim Khan had a role of a prince. Except for a couple of dialogues, he was mostly seen as a prisoner and hence his exposure in the film was limited.
