The cinematographer has many interesting things to share and one thing that got us particularly interested was the way he shot for lengthy scenes. Instead of using a crane, he used to carry the heavy camera that weighed25 kilograms with his hands. He used to shoot for 5 to 8 minutes continuously to get keep up the emotions and the flow right.

One can understand when he said that his hands used to shiver completely once he completed shooting for a lengthy scene. He didn’t shoot scene after scene but shot for lengthy scenes. Normally, it’s the director, hero and the cinematographer who have to be in sink with each other while planning the scenes. That’s why Thota Raju is receiving praises for the way he shot the emotional scenes.
