Dwarkadas N. Sampat , Bollywood film Producer
Dwarkadas N. Sampat is a legend in the Bollywood film industry and was the founder of Kohinoor Film Company.

In 1920, Sampat founded the Kohinoor Film Company, and went on to become a legend. He introduced wooden sets, doing away with the painted sceneries of the past. He made 98 films between 1919-1929.

Some of them are:
1920 - Vikram Urvashi: The film starred Leena Valentine, who was billed as the`blue-eyed fairy of the screen.
1921 - Anusuya: The actress Sakinabai appeared nude in the film, but the censors allowed it!
1921 - Bhakta Vidur: The film was banned in Hyderabad (Sind) because the protagonist bore a strong resemblance to Mahatma Gandhi. The District Magistrate of Karachi ordered the ban.
1924 - Kala Nag.
1925 - Handsome Blackguard
1926 - Telephone Girl.

In 1923 a fire at the studio destroyed negatives of the company`s films. However, artistes and technicians were most cooperative and Eastman Kodak willingly granted further credit for raw film stock. However, with the advent of sound, this studio faded into history.
