Remembering Mehmood, on his birth anniversary (29th september).
The name brings on the image of a dhoti clad south Indian Brahmin music teacher with a clean shaven head, and a long choti. The year is 1968. Comedy actor, producer and director Mehmood, released his film Padosan. With Kishore Kumar, Sunil Dutt, Keshto Mukherjee etc., the film has gone on to be the most enduring and memorable comedy films in Hindi cinema. (As the story goes, once early in his acting career, Mehmood went to Kishore Kumar to request for casting in one of his films. Kishore da was reluctant, considering that he himself was generally doing comic roles. Mehmood came away with a comment that one day, he (Mehmood) would get an opportunity to produce films, and then he would definitely cast Kishore da in it. It happened with Padosan 🙂 )
