Apparently Guru Dutt gave Johnny Walker his head to do pretty much whatever he wanted, which drove V.K. Murthy and the rest of the crew crazy with regard to blocking and such.
He was a bus conductor who would entertain passengers with his antics until he was spotted by a member of the team who sent him to a studio where filming was going on, where Guru Dutt discovered him and gave him his stage name as he did his drunkard's walk act and tripped all over the set.
Sometimes GD would want songs to written to be reminiscent of certain Western tunes so in Aar Paar there is one tune that is supposed to sound like “Sing, Sing, Sing” and another that sounds like “Quizás, Quizás, Quizás” heard here:

Apparently the first spark of serious Guru Dutt revival as well as Western interest was in 1975 when a Frenchman named Henri Micciolo who worked at the Alliance Française in Bombay, I think, and spoke no Hindi saw some unsubtitled films but liked them enough to write and publish a monograph that I see mentioned many places but can’t find a copy of.
