Osten made 19 films in India between 1926 and 1939, and ''A Throw of Dice'' formed the final part of a trilogy of Indo-German productions by Osten and Indian actor-producer [[Himanshu Rai]], the other two being ''[[Prem Sanyas]]'' (1925) and ''[[Shiraz]]'' (1928). After a gap, Osten returned to India, and worked on [[Bombay Talkies]] with Rai. During the production of ''Kangan'' (''The Bangle'') in 1939, Osten, a member of the [[Nazi]] Party, was arrested by British colonial officials, and was incarcerated until the end of the [[Second World War]].<ref name=ny/> | Osten made 19 films in India between 1926 and 1939, and ''A Throw of Dice'' formed the final part of a trilogy of Indo-German productions by Osten and Indian actor-producer [[Himanshu Rai]], the other two being ''[[Prem Sanyas]]'' (1925) and ''[[Shiraz (film)|Shiraz]]'' (1928).
