G.Murali on romantic films. G.Murali, the cinematographer beautified Vijay Devarakonda, Samantha's recent romantic entertainer Kushi. The way he showed the Kashmir visuals in a breathtaking manner is winning the hearts of all. It is known that he made his debut in Telugu with another romantic flick Andala Rakshashi in which he showed Lavanya Tripathi in a lovely manner.
Speaking to scribes, Murali shared his love for romantic entertainers. Speaking about his collaboration with Vijay Devarakonda, he said “We go way back. I was the cinematographer for his supposed debut, which was planned to be launched around 2012. We worked closely through the pre-production process, only to see the project eventually get shelved.Then there was another project that did not materialise as well. Finally, we started working together in Kushi after all these years,”
He said “I am personally more inclined towards socially conscious cinema with a gritty, realistic tone,” and added “But romantic films are a different ballgame. There is an additional element of authentic emotion that translates into fantasy, and it is our job as cinematographers to project that abstractness onto the screen.”
On Shiva Nirvana's drawing inspiration from Mani Ratnam 's (Alaipayuthey, OK Kanmani, Geethanjali, Thiruda Thiruda), he added "That said, we have carefully tread the line between inspiration and replication, making all due efforts to not fall into the latter category. Considering this is a Telugu film, the sensibilities do lean more towards the commercial side. Director Shiva Nirvana came up with some mainstream inputs, I balanced that out with my real isat i c perspectives.”
