I got four projects in the ‘lean’ period…

Dear Mohanji, the ‘Peak’ painting was really good for my profession. I am an ad film maker. We put the painting in my office and right after that, there has been no looking back for me. March and April are usually lean periods for us. I would be free, with no projects, but this year, I got four projects at the same time! I also opened an office in Bangalore, along with a friend. And now I am planning to open another office in Mumbai. I am also currently working on a movie project along with a leading Tamil comedian actor. With your blessings, we will make a hit movie that will shake the Tamil film industry. I am sure your painting of the ‘Phoenix’ will do the miracle for me.
