I just read this article by Deepak Mahaan in The Hindu-Friday
Review'(January 21, 2011).

in this .... "Dev reveals Vijay Anand, despite being the writer and
director of “Hum Dono”, selflessly gave the name of his good friend
Amarjeet as the director to promote his career and remained silent
even when Amarjeet was nominated for the Golden Bear at 1962 Berlin
International Film Festival!

Was this common knowledge. I was somehat surprised.

Dev Anand's autobiograhy does not say anything, but the book by Alpana
Chowdhury does say that Navketan insiders say that it was directed by
Vijay Anand.

The article also says and I quote

The super star is trifle sorry that he couldn't repeat Jaidev again on
account of Dada Burman's close affinity.

I believe that this is common knowledge. I have a very well-written
article by Varsha Bhosle (from an early-90s issue of Filmfare) where
she also says that Vijay Anand ghost-directed the film. Amarjeet
directed Teen Deviyan (1965) and you can see how awful the film was
despite a splendid musical score. So I guess he could not have
possibly made such a fine film as Hum Dono. It shows.

Regarding Teen Deviyan, following is from Raju Bharatan's latest book:

"Goldie also informed me that each one of Majrooh-S. D. Burman-collaborated
songs in Teen Deviyan (coming in the same 1965 year as Guide) had been
meticulously picturized by him - at the instance of director Amarjeet,
a Dev acolyte and a master publicist."
