Novelty is the essence of life and cinema. Kollywood strives for newness in everything. Take the case of Godfather. What's new in it? Well, it has four camera persons.

After Cheran's Autograph,four cinematographers have come together to work for Ajith starrer Godfather.

According to director K S Ravikumar, 'the movie has P C Sreeram cranking the camera for song sequences, Priyan for a couple of songs, Prasadh who was the cinematographer of Padayappa and Arthur Wilson have also cranked a few scenes in the movie.

Four cinematographers coming together to give their best is a bit of a rarity in Tamil cinema.

Some uncharitable sections have it that four camera persons may have been a necessity (due to date problems) and the unit is now making a virtue out of it.

A major portion of the movie has been completed and Godfather will grace theatres this Deepavali.

Meanwhile, Ajith's Tirupathi goes to floors on 15 September.
