On 7th August 2019 we lost a legendry Producer, Director – Shri J. Om Prakashji. Father of Pinky Roshan, Father-in-law of Rakesh Roshan and Grandfather of Hritik Roshan. Gentle and amiable but an astute film maker – he will be missed. He always made clean family fare with good music. For some reason, one song sticks in my mind – “Dekho veer jawaanon apne khoon pe yeh ilzaam na aaye” from his film ‘Aakraman’.
The following songs from his films featured in the annual Geet Mala charts:
1961: Film: “Aas Ka Panchhi”. Song: “Dil mera aas ka panchhi”.
