HOW THE WES WAS WON

Key grip Sanjay Sami discusses his work on some of the world's most famous films and his latest collaboration with Wes Anderson

His IMDB listing is like every film we've ever liked. From cult Bollywood ones like Dil Chahta Hai and Don to multiplex gems like Being Cyrus, Delhi Belly and Manto and mega spinners like Brahmastra. His international creds are like, well, something out of the movies. Think The Bourne Supremacy, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Eat, Pray, Love, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, The Hundred-Foot Journey, Doctor Strange, Tenet, and OTT series like Sense8 and Shantaram, Sami has worked with the best in the biz. Quite the achievement for someone who started adult life as a commercial diver and wasn't remotely interested in cinema!
