    According to Narwekar, Secretary was the first film Doshi directed after having worked for Ranjit Studios as a scriptwriter since 1929. However, as cited by Filmindia and Rajadhyaksha and Willemen, this was reportedly his second film, with Gorakh Aaya which was also made the same year, being his first. The film was a bilingual being made in Hindi and Gujarati. Doshi, thus laid the groundwork for Gujarati film production along with his other films like Gunsundari.
