Life
Self-taught Brij Mohan Vyas came to Bombay in the early 1940s through his older brother, author and songwriter Bharat Vyas (1918-1982), and was a singer and actor in his Rajasthani play Ramu Chanana . His vocal talents caught on to the film composer Ghulam Mohammed , who recommended him to Naushad . Vyas was a playback singer in the films Pehle Aap (1944) under the film composer Naushad, Bhartrahari ( Chaturbhuj Doshi , 1944) under Khemchand Prakash and Maharana Pratap (1947) under Ram Ganguly .
In 1944 he was engaged as a stage singer at Prithviraj Kapoor's Prithvi Theater , where his recital talent was quickly discovered and he was used as an actor. Vyas was associated with the theater group until 1955 and appeared in numerous plays such as the written by Indian Raj Anand Deewar (1945) and Gaddar (1948), Pathan (1947), Ahooti (1949) and written by Ramanand Sagar Kalakar (1952) Tours of India's cities.
Through Ramesh Saigal , who, like many of the Prithvi Theater's players, was associated with the Indian People's Theater Association's left-wing political movement, Vyas had a small role as the protagonist's older brother in Chetan Anand's IPTA production Neecha Nagar (1946) - his first appearance as film actor. He then starred in a number of films by Raj Kapoor , including the father of the actress Nargis in Barsaat (1949). Because of his great stature and his gesture Vyas was already occupied at the beginning of his career for roles of older persons. He played the Abu Hassan in Homi Wadi's 1954 film adaptation of Alibaba and the Fort Thieves , and in Do Aankhen Barah Haath (1957) he played a prisoner in a joint scene with the acting director of the film V. Shantaram . In the 1960s and 1970s Vyas was seen in supporting roles in numerous religious films. Among the best known is his role as Ravana in Babubhai Mistris Sampoorna Ramayan (1961).
