    4 Scenarist and dialogue writer born in Miani (now Pakistan); uncle of [[Mukul S. Anand]]. Student years in Lahore and Hyderabad. Closely associated with the [[IPTA]]’s Bombay branch. Major contribution as playwright for [[Prithviraj Kapoor]]’s Prithvi Theatres: Deewar and Ghaddar mark its IPTA-influenced early 40s radical phase. Publicist for [[Minerva Movietone|Minerva]] when [[Raj Kapoor]] hired him to write [[Aag]] (1948), leading to further collaborations: [[Aah]] (1953), [[Chhalia]] (1960), [[Sangam]] (1964), Sapnon Ka Saudagar (1968). Also scripted [[Mohan Segal]]’s landmark satire New Delhi and the [[Dev Anand]] whodunit [[CID]] (both 1956). Since early 60s, worked mainly as a ‘genre professional’ for South Indian producers wishing to enter the Bombay-based mainstream: e.g. dialogues for the Hindi films of [[L.V. Prasad]], [[K. Balachander]], [[Adurthi Subba Rao]] and [[Bharathirajaa]]. Regular scenarist for 80s director Rajkumar Kohli.
