Alagappan (inset), the Kerala State Award winning cinematographer for Shyamaprasad's Agnisaakshi has shot more than forty films in his thirty year-career. He has also won a National Award for his work for a tele-film for Shyamaprasad. His other notable films include Ore Kadal and Thalappavu.
His latest is one of the most eagerly awaited films in Tamil, Chimubudevan's Irumbu Kottai Murattu Singam releasing on January 29.
He has also finished shooting Priyadarshan's Bum Bum Bole with Darsheel Safary and Atul Kulkarni. Two more directors with whom he really wants to work with are Mani Ratnam and Shyam Benegal.
But back to Irumbu Kottai Murattu Singam. Shobha Warrier finds out more.
How did the assignment of shooting Irumbu Kottai Murattu Singam come about?
Chimbudevan contacted me when he made his first film Imsai Arasan... At that time, I was busy with Vasantha Balan's Veyil. It is another matter that I could not finish it because of an earlier commitment to a Mohanlal film. Similar commitments made me not accept Chimbudevan's second film also. But this time when he said it was a cowboy film, I decided that no matter what, I was going to do the film.
