Hema Malini, who rarely shares blasts from the past on her Instagram profile, treated her fans to an epic vintage picture from the muhurat ceremony of her 1970 film Johny Mera Naam. The vintage photo also features late actor Dev Anand, who was the lead actor in the film, late filmmaker BR Chopra and the makers of Johny Mera Naam. Sharing the black and white memory from 1969, Hema Malini wrote: "The photo was taken at the muhurat of Johny Mera Naam on 07-02-1969." She added that the photo also shows late producer Gulshan Rai, late director Vijay Anand and late cinematographer Fali Mistry. "Producer Gulshan Rai ji, Ananta Swamy, BR Chopra ji, Subodh da (Mukherjee), Dev saab, Director Vijay Anand, Mrs Gulshan Rai, Jeevan, and Cameraman Fali Mistry," Hema Malini wrote in her caption.
Johny Mera Naam, directed by Vijay Anand, also starred Pran, Jeevan, Premnath, IS Johar and Iftekhar. The film was one of the highest grossing Bollywood movies of the 1970s. It was later remade in Telugu (Eduruleni Manishi), in Tamil (Raja) and in Kannada (Apoorva Sangama).
