Cinemaazi remembers Anant Mane on his death anniversay

Anant Mane’s paternal uncle Dnyanoba Mane, popularly known as Mane Pahelwan, was a popular actor working for the Prabhat Film Company. It was, therefore, natural for the young school-going boy to be attracted to films. Soon he gave up schooling altogether and joined the Prabhat Film Company as an unpaid apprentice on 1 June 1930. For a year and a half, he worked in various departments, as was the practice at Prabhat, and was eventually made an assistant in the editing and direction departments where he had the opportunity to work under the legendary V Shantaram.
