My friend Shankar Iyer asked me some questions about this film, when it was first proposed, how long did it take to complete.

I looked at my collection of magazines and found a picture of an early announcement in the film from a Filmfare issue of 1957. I could not find anything else.

Naturally I return to the gurus at RMIM. Within minutes, I got replies :)

K C Pingle mentioned that it was announced in November 1956 with Vyjayanthimala and music by C Ramchandra. Madhubala & SJ replaced them in Oct/Nov 1957. It went on the sets IIRC in Feb 1957. Muhurat - Raman Studios Dadar - 24 Feb.

Then Nikhil Iyer posted a photo with Kishore Kumar & Madhubala in Jwala from 1958 Jan filmindia

In Musing 2489, I posted  an image of Yaqub with a heroine here. I always post my musings on Facebook also.

Soon after my post, Shalin Bhatt suggested that it may be Miss Panna. He also found an image of her. Mohd Shahid Khan did the same. Then Isuru pointed out that he had earlier posted details of the film Phantom of the Hills.

I am thankful to all of them.
