M. Jeevan is a director, cinematographer and a still photographer who has worked in both the Telugu and Tamil industries. Jeevan began his career as a still photographer and worked on big-budget films including Mani Ratnam’s Bombay (1994) and Iruvar (1997), Shankar’s Jeans (1998) and Rajiv Menon’s Kandukondain Kandukondain (2000). He also recruited his brother Sukumar to work on his assignments. He subsequently continued working as a photographer in films including Minnale (2001), Samurai (2002) and King (2002) and struck up a good relationship with the director Prabhu Solomon.
Although, when director Prabhu Solomon insisted M.Jeevan up on entering the field of cinematography, M. Jeevan was a little reluctant, but eventually went on to accept the opportunity. Jeevan has also directed films and first began making Mayilu (2012) for Prakash Raj’s production house in 2008. Delays meant that Pa. Vijay’s Gnabagangal (2009) became his first release, while Mayilu released three years later. He has since gone on to make Amara (2014) and Mosakutty (2014), both starring debutant lead actors.
