Curiosità

Amar (transl. "Immortal") is a 1954 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film produced and directed by Mehboob Khan. Dealing with the controversial subject of rape, the film revolves around the titular upper-class lawyer, his feminist fiancé, the social worker Anju Roy (Madhubala), and Sonia (Nimmi), a poor milkmaid.

Production

For the role of Anju Roy, Mehboob Khan had initially cast the actress Meena Kumari. However, due to some reasons, Kumari could not continue shooting and left the film. Following Kumari's departure, the shooting came to a halt and several actresses made unsuccessful tries to achieve the high-profile role. In late 1952, Raj Kapoor phoned Mehboob Khan requesting him to cast Nargis (whom Kapoor was dating then) in the role.
