Ace movie director, Manmohan Desai was barely 24 when he made his directorial debut with movie named Chhalia, produced by his younger brother Subhash Desai. The movie is based on a mix of real life incident and influenced by Hollywood movie: “White Nights”. The story of the film is written by Raj Anand ( father of actor-director Tinnu Anand, and grandfather of Siddharth Raj Anand of “Bachna Ae Haseeno” fame ).
