Anjaan, with twists and turns

Anjaan, with twists and turns

Santosh Sivan, the most respected cinematographer of the country has cranked the camera for Suriya’s Anjaan which is set in Mumbai.


While talking about his work in Anjaan, Sivan says, “The script from Lingusamy gave me an opportunity to explore the new Mumbai. Mumbai has two sides, one side of the city is good and the other side is bad. I didn’t want to display the rotten one, but have matched the colours of both. It is also a city of colours and artificial lights. We have used these elements as backdrops for Anjaan. Moreover, the film has an interesting script with twists and turns. The onscreen chemistry of Suriya and Samantha would be a major highlight indeed”.

Ace cinematographer Santosh Sivan , in a recent interview, talked about the challenges involved in shooting the Ilayathalapathy Vijay starrer Thuppakki.
 

He says, “Thuppakki was one of the first big films in which I used a digital camera. But I used it because it was needed: a lot of sequences were shot on the roads and we had to use hidden cameras and not too many lights.”
 

And as his next movie, Suriya starrer Anjaan is also set in the same place as Thuppakki, Mumbai, Santosh Sivan has put in a lot of effort to show the city in a different light.
 

The first look teaser of Anjaan will be out on July 5th.
