Cinematographer Rathnavelu, who is on a cloud nine after the success of 'Rangasthalam', has described 'Sye Raa' as a sure-shot script that will be a landmark Indian film for sure.  The super-talented technician goes by his gut feeling.  "A few days before Rangasthalam's release, I told Sukumar that the film will definitely do wonders," he says.  

About 'Sye Raa', this is what he has to say, "It is a sure-shot script. My judgment is this. It's a lifetime film for Chiranjeevi garu.  It will be a landmark film for others working on it.  I am approaching the movie with a lot of detailing.  The sets, the lighting, the costumes, the mood - we have to transport the audience to the 19th century."

He did homework for 2.5 months for this Surender Reddy-directed magnum opus.  Chiru is damn happy with the output so far, Rathnavelu adds.
