It was my pleasure to shoot a video interview with him at his residence. He is very wise, humble and down to earth personality. His space was as I imagined – full of books, creative decore and various art paintings. His years of wisdom were pouring in the interview – very commendable yet polite speech. Ram Mohan is a true storyteller who creates magic with his in-detph storyboard, beautiful characterization, seamless animation – all integrated with his very own flavor of humuor which makes the animation come alive !!!
