Legendary filmmaker is the “forgotten genius”. Long before his landmark Ramayan released in 1987 transformed Indian television, he created the massive spy blockbuster Ankhen released in 1968, a groundbreaking, high-budget film that bridged adventure and emotional storytelling in a way few others did.
He pioneered high-budget Indian spy cinema before switching to devotional narratives.
He brought a unique, grand scale to both genres.
The phrase “forgotten genius” is used because modern audiences rarely associate the creator of the spiritual Ramayan with the gritty, globetrotting, and intense spy thriller Ankhen.
