Despite the moral police (they're always around) the atmosphere of experimentation, freedom and fashion was unmatchable!" "Filming Manoranjan was a ' haste-haste, khelte-khelte ' affair. The producer FC Mehra was a family friend. We shot the film entirely in studios in Mumbai, and it released in 1974.
