The film Bhool Na Jaanaa, is an unreleased film from the 1964-65 time frame. Started under the banner of Integrity International, by producer Jagan Prasad Sharma, its storyline was built around the Indo-China war of 1962. By the time this film was under production, the govt. of India refused permission for this film to be released. Apparently the relations with China were improving, and the govt. put a ban on films on this subject. (May be it was lucky for Chetan Anand that his film on the same subject, Haqeeqat, got released in 1964, and the ban probably came after that). Although in an advanced stage of completion, the production of this film was shelved.

When the year 1952 dawned, Geeta ji had been singing in Hindi films now for about 6 years, and had an incredible 500+ songs already behind her. On the other hand, the soon to be famous OP Nayyar had composed the background score for Kaneez in 1949, and this film, Aasmaan, was going to be his debut as an independent music director. He became known as a maverick composer and the Melody Maestro in the coming years. OP Nayyar went through a phase in the 50s when All India Radio shunned his music as being too trendy, and Radio Ceylon became the remote beacon for music lovers to listen to his songs. In the mid to late 1950s, he became the highest paid composer in the industry, and the first one to command contracts worth one lakh (and more) for composing.
