The item number cinematographer
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,March 26 2009]
Heard of heroines who agree to dance for one song in a film, but a cinematographer who films just one song in a film, that too, an item number?
Cameraman Rathnavelu, who is currently working on RajiniÂs ÂEndhiranÂ, is doing just that. In a short break shooting from ÂEndhiran now, the cameraman was approached by his good friend, director Kumaravel, to do a song for ÂNinaithaale InikkumÂ.
Cinematographer Balasubramaniyam, who was originally cranking the camera for KumaravelÂs ÂNinaithaale InikkumÂ, had to work on DhanushÂs ÂKuttyÂ. This was when a song had to be completed for Ninaithaale InikkumÂ, and he was unavailable.
It was due to his unavailability that Kumaravel called Rahtnavelu, who willingly obliged. The song, Sexy Lady features Telugu actress Kausha.
ÂNinaithaale InikkumÂ, a remake of the Malayalam hit ÂClassmatesÂ, features Prithviraj, Priyamani, Shakthi and Karthik, and is slated for a May release.
