town shooting  location (Bhopal) Madhubalas father, Ataullah Khan, refused to let  her go citing health reasons. In actuality he didnt want to  encourage the budding romance between Madhubala and Dilip Kumar, the  male lead. When repeated reasoning failed to change Ataullah Khans  decision, B.R.Chopra dropped Madhubala and cast Vyjantimala instead.  Ataullah Khan took the matter to court and Chopra was able to prove  that the shooting in Bhopal was essential to the film. But the  judgment had to wait till the movie was completed.
