Shiraz and we hope the concern will prosper under the jealous care and management of Mr. S. V. Kirparam of "Movies".
Quite a number of pictures are planned for production in this studio and one of them will be directed by Debaki Bcse for Lax mi Pictures floated by Mr. Chimanlal Trivedi.
By the way, Mr. Chimanlal Trivedi is once again on the war path and is entering into new contracts right and left and threatens to once again eclipse the production activities of other producers in the country. With Lila Desai and some other Bengal technicians already in Bombay and with Kanan Bala threatening to 'and in Bombay any of these days, the affairs cf Chimanlal Trivedi threaten to be exciting.
