The beauty is that the PRO of ‘Pushpaka Vimana’ a silent film starring Ulaganayakan Dr Kamal Haasan and Amla 36 years ago was Sri Nagendra who handled the work very efficiently and for the present silent movie ‘Maha Guru’ also he is doing the PRO work.
The film with CG and VFX at a high level is getting the right shape in the direction of Kasturi Jagannath, a veteran in the field of cinema who has put thirty plus years as assistant director working for some of the big directors.
The film ‘Mahaguru’ is set in the forest backdrop and has cinematography from another veteran of 55 films, AC Mahendran. Today everyone on the street is a cameraman. The technology has taken front seat and the need of a real technician is going bleak.
