Syeraa Narasimhareddy cinematographer replaced?

The makers of megastar Chiranjeevi’s much-awaited film ‘Syeraa Narasimhareddy’ are leaving no stone unturned to deliver a magnum opus. With expectations hitting the roof, they have reportedly replaced leading cinematographer Ravi Varman with another top cameraman Rathnavelu prior to the shooting of the film.

In fact, Ravi Varman cranked camera for blockbusters like ‘Aparachitudu’ and ‘Dasavatharam’. Producer Ram Charan and director Surender Reddy who were impressed with his body of work, didn’t mind paying his pay cheque of Rs 3.5 crore but just a few days ago, he was replaced. ‘It is true Ravi Varman is not cranking the camera for the historical ‘Syeraa….’ due to some prior commitments and Rathnavelu will take over his work’ says a source in Chennai.

Actually, Rathnavelu was the cinematographer for Chiranjeevi’s comeback hit film ‘Khaidi No 150’ and Ram Charan’s ongoing periodic saga ‘Rangasthalam’. ‘Rathnavelu is excited about the new opportunity and going to give his best since it is one of the most-awaited films of 2018,” adds the source. Undeniably, Ram Charan wants only the best for his father’s big-ticket production and believes that Rathnavelu will be apt choice to dish out a visual spectacle.
