Nanabhai Bhatt (12 June 1915 – 23 April 1999) was a well-known Indian film director and producer of Bollywood and Gujarati cinema,[1][2] known for making over a hundred fantasy and mythological films,[3] including Mr. X(1957), Zimbo Comes to Town (1960), Lal Qila (1960) and the blockbuster Kangan (1959) starring Nirupa Roy and Ashok Kumar.[4][5] His first film, Muqabala (1942), was the first to feature the double-role or "twins" phenomenon in Indian cinema, wherein lead actress Fearless Nadia alternated between the good sister and the gangster's moll. The formula was subsequently emulated in numerous Hindi films.[6]

Early life and career[edit]

Bhatt, called Yeshwant Bhatt, was born to a Gujarati family on 12 June 1915 in Porbandar, British India.[citation needed] He started his early career in films as a sound recordist with Prakash Pictures, working under his brother Balwant Bhatt, and then by writing "scripts and stories" using the name Batuk Bhatt.[7] He began his directorial venture when he joined Homi Wadia's team at Basant Pictures[8] by co-directing two films with Babubhai Mistri,Muqabala (1942) and Mauj (1943), under the same name.[9] He directed two more films as Batuk Bhatt, Homi Wadia's Hunterwali Ki Beti (1943) and Liberty Pictures Sudhar (1949).[10] Bhatt left Basant Pictures and started his own production company "Deepak Pictures" in 1946.[8]

Personal life[edit]

Bhatt, a Gujarati Brahmin,[11][12] was the patriarch of the Bhatt film family. He had five daughters and four sons, including noted film director and producer Mahesh Bhatt, Mukesh Bhatt, and Robin Bhatt owners of Vishesh Films.
Bhatt died at Nanavati hospital in Mumbai from heart failure on 23 April 1999.[13][14]
