Cinematography
to direction seems only a viable transition,
but not many cinematographers seem to be nurturing
the dreams of a director. The few who have,
have made an indelible mark in direction too.
Like these:
K V Anand turned into a hugely successful
and bankable director with his Ayan. Now he’s
busy directing Jiiva for his upcoming flick
Ko
Santosh Sivan is known for his directorial
skills as much as for his cinematography.
Urumi, the period drama, is his latest venture
It’s possible that cinematographer Guhan
never wanted to be a director. But Prakash
Raj insisted after he was impressed with Guhan’s
camerawork in Mozhi. Guhan’s just finished
shooting for Inidhu Inidhu, the Tamil remake
of the Telugu hit Happy Days
Ravi Varman, who is known for his eye for
detail, turns director with the
quirkily titled Moscowin Cauvery
