Rangeen Raatein (1956)

Kidar Sharma and Roshan get together to give yet another winning album. During the production of this movie, Shammi married Geeta Bali in a secret ceremony against his parents' wishes. Parag tells that Geeta Bali had a very minor role (she felt she owed it to Kidar Sharma who discovered her) in the movie where she plays a man! Incredible as it may seem this was not the first time it happened in the history of cinema. There was a Telugu movie that was made in late 40's where a fully grown female actress (G. Varalakshmi) played the role of young Prahlad. Mala Sinha, who is one of the stars of "Rangeen Raatein", could hardly speak Hindi in the beginning of her career. (Ms. Sinha's mother tongue was Nepalese but she could speak fluent Bengali when this movie was in production.) Geeta took Mala under her wings and instilled confidence in her through coaching.
