Cinematographer turned director Jeeva's last Tamil film Dhaam Dhoom is indeed a labour of love. Unfortunately, he couldn't finish the film. He met with an untimely death in Russia where he had gone to shoot parts of the film. Jayam Ravi, Kangana Ranaut and Lakshmi Rai are in the lead roles.
Dhaam Dhoom, Jeeva's last film, certainly showcases the Tamil cinematographer-turned director's larger than life ambitions, and his talent for storytelling, that is no exaggeration. Right from frame one, where the titles race across magical graphic-induced map of Russian cities, you're prepared to sit up with eagerness.
Manigandan on how the late filmmaker and mentor influenced every shot of his first Tamil film Chikku Bukku.
'Talent is very important. It's a mix of everything -- you need to be a great dancer, you need to have good looks, you need to be glamorous...
