Ashok Mehta "Journey of my Life"

One of India's most accomplished cinematographers Ashok Mehta became c.asst at Srikrishna Films and got his first break as a cinematographer at the age of 25 in Raj Marbros' 'The Witness'.He credits his actual career boost to the reigning star of the 70's, Shashi Kapoor. Kapoor, who was starring in a film being shot by Mehta, was greatly impressed by his work and even though the film did not get made eventually, it won Mehta the favor of Kapoor, who offered him his next production, '36 Chowringhee Lane'. The next step for Mehta was to establish himself in mainstream cinema and this opportunity came through actress Rakhee. It was during the filming of 'Paroma' that Rakhee got acquainted with Mehta and his work, but it was years later when Subhash Ghai, leading director of the popular film scene, was on the lookout for a cameraman for his mega-project 'Ram Lakhan', that she suggested the name of Mehta. Ashok Mehta then stepped onto the popular film scene and with the collaboration of Ghai, brought to popular cinema an altogether different style of lighting and shot taking.Since then there has been no looking back....offers kept on pouring in he became a known name in the industry.
