An interview with Manmohan Shetty
Manmohan Shetty is the Invisible Man of Bollywood. A media-shy personality, he has been associated with some of the finest films in Indian cinema. He is man who wears many hats.

As a businessman he owns Adlabs, one of the country's leading film processing companies.

As a producer he has produced the National Award winning Akrosh, and Chakra.

And as friend and adviser he has been associated with many projects including Kundan Shah's Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa which launched Shah Rukh Khan in Bollywood and John Mathew Mathan's Sarfarosh.

The latest hat that Shetty dons is that of the promoter of IMAX dome theatre in India. Coming up in Wadala in Central Mumbai, it will be fully operational by 2000-end. With seating for 520, it will be the largest IMAX theatre in the world and the first of its kind in the subcontinent.
