Sandeep Mohan is a man of few words. He prefers to express himself through his films. The 42-year-old, who arrived in Mumbai in 1997 to assist Sanjay Leela Bhansali, couldn't find creative freedom in mainstream cinema, and took the parallel route. Known for offbeat films like Love, Wrinkle-Free (2011), Hola Venky! (2014) and X: Past is Present (2015), Mohan earns a living by screening his films in different cities and at film festivals. He travels by train (laptop, projector and cables in tow) to cut costs and save for his next film. Shreelancer (2017), his latest film, is currently being screened across India.
