Studios story is full of magic and colour In the rsquo30s the movie business was supposed to be a lsquodirty businessrsquo People would talk about movies but many wouldnrsquot even consider going to watch one There seemed to be a lack of respect for the profession because it was being considered the domain of undesirable sections of the then Indian society Due to this financiers during those times would face an impossible challenge when it came to getting returns on their investmentHimanshu RaiIt was after giving back to back flop movies in the UK that during this hunt of financiers for his survival Himanshu Rai a London return flop actortheatre artist struggling after ruining his career in the UK came in contact with Abhimanyu Singh a close friend of the business tycoon Seth Badriprasad Dube who was a wellknown financier He introduced Himanshu Rai to Seth Badriprasad Dube with a dream of making a cinema company but Seth Badriprasad declined the proposal of funding him because Seth Badriprasad had once financed the first Talkie film of India Alam Ara in 1931 which didnt earn him any profit and he made an opinion that only actors and directors get fame but the financier doesnrsquot get profits The other reason for his denial was that the history of London based actor Himanshu Rai was damaging and unsuccessfulAbhimanyu Singh spoke next to Seth Badriprasadrsquos son Shri Rajnarayan Dube He was a young and dynamic businessman who operated a successful company called Dube Industries which he had founded in 1929 Mr Dube was born on 10th October

discussed an initial investment amount of Rs 25 lakhs However Himanshu Rai couldnrsquot convince Rajnarayan Dube to invest the amount because of the dismal returns on investment that the Indian movie industry offered At this point it would seem that Bombay Talkies would never come to be but things have a way of working out in unexpected waysA few months passed by and Himanshu Rai had grown increasingly despondent because it was becoming impossible to raise investment for his movie company In his depression the man attempted suicide but was unsuccessful Rajnarayan Dube got wind of this through Abhimanyu Singh and wondered about this man one who so completely and wholeheartedly believed in the power of cinema and talking pictures that he did not see fit to continue living if he couldnrsquot follow his dreams Despite the unsuccessful background of Himanshu Rai Rajnarayan Dube decided that Himanshu Rai was onto something here and finalized the investment with him soon after In
