One of the most common criticisms
koratala siva has received after the release of "Acharya" is that none of the opening or elevation shots in the film are as fascinating as those in his prior films. Then there was a report that his feud with the film's cinematographer resulted in poor production, and that the DOP never gave him ideas for new blocks and openers. Is that correct?
The
director of "Mirchi" has only worked with two cinematographers during his career, despite the fact that all of his films are visually stunning. His first two films were directed by skilled Madhie, but his later pictures were directed by Thiru, a creative lensman. However, it is claimed that
koratala has a problem with Thiru, and as a result, Acharya's visuals are inadequate. And now, a shift in his team is confirming that the rumours are genuine.
For the first time,
koratala siva has hired Ratnavelu, the cinematographer behind
arya and Robo, as his right hand for his upcoming film Jr NTR. Not only that, but he bypassed his favourite composer
devi sri prasad in favour of Anirudh, while also bringing in production designer Sabu Cyril to handle both art and costumes. That is, without a doubt, a significant adjustment.
We'll have to wait and see how
koratala siva fared after switching cinematographers. However, the rumour that he switched teams solely due to internal conflicts will remain a rumour until the
director confirms it.
