Watch out for Sarvesh Murari

Sarvesh Murari. A bachelor of fine arts in photography from JNTU. Speaking to Cinema Prapancham the talented cinematographer says, “Since the time I was twelve or thirteen I was interested in learning cinematography. I faced opposition from my parents but I guess they are happy now. A native of Vijayawada Sarvesh first worked with Rasool in Nuvvu Nenu and Family Circus. Senthil is a good friend, I worked with him as an operative camera man. Chandrasekhar Yeleti called me when I was working on Sye and my first film as a cinematographer was in Anukokunda Oka Roju. After that I worked in Shock, Vikramarkudu and now I’m currently in Nava Vasantham and in Ontari.

Ask Sarvesh what is necessary to be a good cinematographer? He says, “One must learn still photography. One should have the capacity or talent to visualise.”

Ask him if it is a struggle for beginners who get in the film field? “Actually I struggled less, there are people who have worked for 15 years as an assistant and still haven’t got a break. Director ki producer ki mana meedha nammakam kalagali, cinema iyyali.”

What was the most memorable moment in his life? Sarvesh says, “When Chandrasekhar Yeelti called me after I got back home from the shoot. He said, ‘Ee roju teesina shots chaala beautiful ga unnayi. Nee work cinemani nilabettali.’ These small things in life boost your confidence. It’s one of the best compliments I have received so far. Cinema run avuthundha ledha kante a cinematographer helps in showing atleast fifty percent of the film looking aesthetic. Visual ga chiraaku undadhu.”
