Ramniklal Shah: An Early Studio Pioneer

by

Prof Surjit Singh

Ramniklal Shah was a partner in a major studio, Mohan Studios and many famous films were shot there. For example, the Sheesh Mahal set for the 50s blockbuster Mughal-e-Azam was built there. His name is found in old books and magazines, but he is now long-forgotten. I sincerely believe that memories of such pioneers must be kept alive for future generations.
I am playing a small part in this effort and this book is the result.
