RAJKAMAL KALAMANDIR (Bombay)
Producer-director Shantaram is a very busy man in and outside the studios. He has changed the old Wadia Studios into a wonderland by renovating everything in the compound. Go where you like, you can't smell anything of the old Wadia atmosphere in the new Rajkamal Kalamandir .
For "Shakuntala", Producer Shantaram has signed down Chandramohan and is steadily making up his mind to star his wife in the stellar role. Friends are trying their level best to help him to make this decision, but with his usual obstinacy Shantaram is taking his own time.
"Shakuntala" will go into shooting sometime early in January and is expected to be ready by the end of May.
FAZLI BROTHERS (Bombay)
Producer-director S. F. Hasnain is rarely seen nowadays and people suspect that he is very busy. He should be, with "Fashion" a social picture on the sets.
Producer Hasnain's brother, S. Fazli — the man with the Paul Muni face— is secretly busy with his picture called "Bhai Bahen" . This picture is likely to go into shooting in the middle of January and we hope they invite all, as they did last time, to share the Muhurat cake which looked like a birth-day cake.
SHALIMAR PICTURES (Bombay)
Believe it or not, Producer-director W. Z. Ahmed is at Poona at the Saraswati Cinetone Studios shooting the new picture "Mun-ki-jeet" and he is so busy that he does not get time to reply to friends' letters. The
nett result of his activities is that there is a serious strain on the telegraph office because W . Z . Ahmed, when he can't write letters, resorts to telegrams.
Producer Ahmed has got two pictures in making, the other being "Film Actress", a social story centred on the struggles of a society lady while entering the film industry.
BOMBAY TALKIES (Bombay)
By the time this is in print "Kismet" is expected to be released at the Roxy Talkies. With the release of this picture Producer S. Mukherjee will have left the Bombay Talkies along with Rai Bahadur Chuni Lall, the General Manager. Almost a complete unit will sever U>eir connection with the Bombay Talkies and start their own produc
ing company . This is an unfortunate event to report and yet it cannot be helped.
No one knows what are the plans of the Bombay Talkies for the future, but we only hope that they will be constructive enough to be enterprising and businesslike.
INDIA FILM CIRCUIT (Bombay)
Their social story "Sunbai" has been released in the Central Provinces and other stations where it had good reception. They expect to release this picture in Bombay very shortly. Another picture which they have in hand is called "Kaljug" produced by Hind Pictures and starring Sitara, Nazir and others.
CHITRA PRODUCTIONS (Bombay)

Radha Rani provides charming sex-appeal in "M«;«q" a social picture of
Raja Movietone.
