Thanks a lot for the info. Did your father also use this pseudonym for any other film? And what was the reason for him to choose a pseudonym?

He also gave music for Laal Nishaan as Nirmal Kumar. I remember my father saying that the name was suggested to him by Lata Mageshkar. The reason I do not know but I'm guessing that he wanted to have a different banner for perhaps stunt vs serious movies. He also mentioned that he sang and perhaps directed under the name "Master Ramesh."
