‘Main Wohi Hoon’ (1966) was produced by S A Mehmood and was directed by A Shamsheer. The cast included Feroz Khan, Kumkum, I S Johar, Madan Puri, Murad, Roopesh Kumar, Bela Bose, Lata Sinha, Mirza Musharraf etc. The film was a murder mystery.
I have watched the film for the first time only recently after reading the synopsis of the film’s story which appeared to be an interesting murder mystery. A sole daughter of a wealthy father wants to marry a middle-class man. The father has some apprehension because he has two other suitors for his daughter who are rich. But the daughter is adamant to marry her preferred man. Finally, the father has made his mind to go with his daughter’s preference but she is yet to be told of his decision. All the three suitors attend daughter’s birthday bash. Soon, the father is murdered by an unknown assailant. The main suspects are the three suitors who have met the father in the birthday bash and have indirect interest in his wealth if Asha becomes their prospective bride.

There have been two Hindi movies with the title “Ustaad Pedro” that were released in 1951 and 1971 respectively.
These two movies had the same title because they were produced by the same man viz Sheikh Mukhtar and he had played the title role in both the movies. One can easily guess that this story line was close to his heart so he decided to repeat the same story line with the very same movie title. Seeing that there was a 20 year gap between the two movies, the actors in the 1971 necessarily had to be different.
“Ustaad Pedro”(1971) was produced by Sheikh Mukhtar and directed by Chaand for Time Life Films, Bombay. The movie had Sheikh Mukhtar, Meena Roy, Jeewan, Padma Khannaa, Asha Nadkarni, Kundan, Raka, Shyam Kumar, Helen, Junior Mehmood, Master Dingu, Sadiq, Hameed, Kaku, Fazlu, Bihari, B A Baghi, Anil Dutt (new face) etc in it. One can notice that the lead actress in this movie was someone called Meena Roy. Few people have any idea who she was. In contrast, the lead actress of “Ustaad Pedro”(1951) was a famous actress of her time viz Begam Para.
