Sandeep Mohan is an Indian independent filmmaker, producer and screenwriter known for his English and Hindi-language films.
Early life and career
[edit | edit source]Originally from Kerala,[1] Sandeep Mohan was born in Jabalpur before he moved to Mumbai to start his career.[2] He initially worked as an assistant director to Sanjay Leela Bhansali for Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999) before deciding to become an independent filmmaker.[3] His first film Love, Wrinkle-free (2012), which was about an unwanted pregnancy, was awarded an A certificate. As a result, Sandeep decided to make his next film Hola Venky! with a crew of only three additional people and with a new initiative called travelling cinema in which he would not show the film to the censor board but instead to a small group of people worldwide.[1][4] The film had a direct online release in India.[5] He continued with his travelling cinema initiative for his next film Shreelancer (2017) before opting for an OTT platform for his most recent film Nirmal Anand ki Puppy (2019), which was inspired by his relationship with his pet dog.[2][6]
Other work
