From co-founding a Bengali production house with her mother to helming Mumbai’s Mojotale Studios, Ehasaas Kanjilal is carving a producer’s path that fuses heart, heritage, and hard truth
In a country where film production is still largely dominated by legacy studios and male producers, Ehasaas Kanjilal is quietly rewriting the rules—one fiercely independent project at a time. At just 24, she is not only a dynamic film producer but also the co-founder of two production companies with a growing portfolio of bold and socially resonant work in both fiction and non-fiction formats. Her strength lies not just in what she chooses to produce, but in how she does it—with clarity, collaboration, and a creative instinct sharpened from years of working hands-on across every phase of production.
A Mother-Daughter Beginning: Mojotale Entertainments & Distributions. Ehasaas’s Producer journey began in 2019, when she was only 18 by co-founding Mojotale Entertainments & Distributions in Kolkata with her mother, Sumana Kanjilal—a fellow creative force and cultural visionary. Together, they built more than a company; they created a shared artistic ecosystem that placed value on local voices, theatrical aesthetics, and emotional realism. This collaboration would go on to shape a unique production language: one grounded in empathy, experimentation, and the power of Bengali storytelling. Their early fiction slate focused on short films and regional dramas, crafted with minimal budgets but maximal intention. The projects weren’t made for formulaic box office appeal they were built to reclaim the space for poetic, socially reflective cinema.
From Regional Roots to National Reach: Enter Mojotale Studios
In 2025, Ehasaas expanded the Mojotale vision by launching Mojotale Studios in Mumbai—a post-production and distribution-focused outfit aimed at supporting indie and regional filmmakers. Mojotale Studios specializes in dubbing, OTT pitching, and boutique distribution, offering crucial backend support to films that often get lost between festival runs and mainstream streaming platforms. “My goal was never just to make films, ” says Ehasaas. “It was to create a complete system where underrepresented stories can travel further—and with dignity.”
With Mojotale Studios, she is now building long-term collaborations with new-age creators across India who are seeking both artistic freedom and practical infrastructure.
