Career[edit]

As a devoted cinematographer, he has worked in over 25 films and has a tremendous experience of more than 30 years in this industry. As a cinematographer he strongly believes, “Cinematography is not just about my talent in executing the techniques to perfection. Its about connecting with the audience’s mind to create an impact with regard to the story.” His experience has taught him that acclimatizing to the minds of movie lovers and feasting them with visual treats is highly required to engulf their hearts and create a lasting impression. He is notable for Veyil, Shaithan, Paiya, Mirchi, Srimanthudu, The Ghazi Attack and Saaho.

Initially, he started his career as an associate cinematographer to Mr. S. Saravanan, a notable cinematographer, and worked in around 7 films along with him. In 2002, he was introduced as an individual cinematographer through the movie Punnagai Desam. But the turning point of his career was in 2006, when his movie Veyil, directed by Mr. Vasanthabalan and produced by Mr. Shankar, released and was highly praised for its cinematography. Following consecutive successes and box office hits in Kollywood, he set foot in the Bollywood and the Tollywood industry and remained successful in continuing his victory stride. He received an opportunity to work in one of India’s highest budgeted films, Saaho which released multilingually in 2019.
