Vijay C Chakravarthy is an Indian Film Cinematographer, known for his works predominantly in the Telugu cinema. He has worked for blockbusters like Bommarillu, Parugu, and Mr. Perfect

I was born in South Tamil Nadu near Madurai. he wanted to become Cinematographer after seeing ‘Azhiayada Kalangal’ – the directorial debut of well-known cinematographer Balu Mahendra. It fired his imagination and decided to join the film industry. Four years later he watched PC Sreeram’s films directed by Mani Ratnam. he was fascinated by PC Sreeram’s work, and made up my mind to be a cinematographer. PC Sreeram is the first cinematographer who has a fan following that matches that of any leading man of Tamil Nadu.
his father wanted him to complete my graduation and join the government service. so he enrolled for graduation in economics and discontinued after six months. Then he joined a polytechnic and soon abandoned it. he convinced my father that he would get a job in Doordarshan (a central government job) if he lets me join the film institute.

when he met Ramesh Kumar for the first time. He asked him a question – “what kind of lighting and framing would you give if a widow were sitting at a dining table.” That is when Vijay realized that photography is not merely a combination of good lighting, framing, and equipment. It should come from the heart.

debut as cinematographer for a film titled ‘Diwan’ with Sarath Kumar as hero. However he was not satisfied with my work. I was so disappointed that I wanted to give up and return home.

Then I joined Arthur Wilson as assistant for ‘Anbe Sivam’ and ‘Panchatantram’. wherehe observed Kamal Haasan from close quarters and realized that he is forever trying to learn even after achieving so much. he learnt a lesson from this great actor. That learning is a lifelong continuous process.

Later on he worked for ‘Thakadhimita’ (directed by Sundar). Then I worked for Das produced by Editor Mohan with Jayam Ravi as hero. I learnt a lot about filmmaking from Editor Mohan.

Sometime later Vijay got an opportunity to do clash work (clash work means doing cinematography for a film when the official cinematographer is unavailable for some reason). That is when I got to know the wonderful team of Dil Raju, Sukumar, Bhaskar, Devi Sri Prasad and others.

“when Dil Raju called me and offered Bommarillu. He asked me to quote my price. I said that money is immaterial, as I love working with this team. He smiled and paid me more than what I had expected.”

Natarajan Subramanian, better known as Natty or Natraj, is an Indian Cinematographer who has worked on Hindi,Tamil and Telugu films. He has also worked as an actor in Tamil films and achieved recognition through his performance as a conman in ‘Sathuranga Vettai’ (2014).

Natarajan Subramaniam is from Paramakudi, Tamil Nadu, India

Natarajan pursued an interest in photography and quit school at 18, choosing to take up a series of odd jobs to fund his interest rather than going through college. He worked as a still photographer at weddings, and then performed as a videographer at ceremonies. He briefly assisted Cinematographer Vijayalakshmi but was unable to get a break in the film industry, so chose to work on documentaries instead, before venturing into work on commercials and music videos. He shot videos of the music band Euphoria’s first album, and his work was well received.

He became acquainted with director Ram Gopal Varma and the pair discussed a film project which did not materialise, before he was recommended by Varma to Anurag Kashyap, whom he worked with for three Hindi projects – ‘Last Train to Mahakali’ (1999), ‘Paanch’ (2003), and ‘Black Friday’ (2004). In between he had also worked for Tamil romanctic-comedy ‘Youth’ (2002) starring Vijay, and had briefly agreed to be a part of AR Murugadoss’s Ramanaa (2001), which he later opted out from.[1] Despite being active in Tamil films, he has chosen to prioritise work as a cinematographer in Hindi films, working on successful films including ‘Jab We Met’ (2007), ‘Golmaal Returns’ (2008) and ‘Raanjhanaa’ (2013).

Away from cinematography in big-budget Hindi films, Natarajan has embarked on an alternate career as an actor in small-budget Tamil films. He initially appeared in two films by his friend Uday Mahesh, ‘Naalai’ (2006) and ‘Chakkara Viyugam’ (2008), both of which went unnoticed at the box office but won positive acclaim for Natarajan’s performances as an actor. He starred in two further action-masala films aimed at the village and town audiences, ‘Milaga’ (2010) and ‘Muthukku Muthaaga’ (2011), which received similar lukewarm responses. In 2014, Natarajan featured in the Tamil caper film, ‘Sathuranga Vettai’ directed by newcomer Vinoth and produced by Manobala. The film opened to positive reviews and became a surprise success at the box office, with a critic noting Natarajan “is brilliant as Gandhi Babu. He does his part with relish using his brains more than brawn with expressive body and eye language”.
