His tremendous passion is what brought him here. We don’t work based on numbers or calculations; we go by passion and instinct. Karthik is an immensely successful cinematographer. He put his heart and soul into Mirai, which is the beginning of many more to follow.”He added, “The team pulled off great VFX with limited resources. The budget is tight, but the vision is large. The vision is worth a thousand crores. It has nothing to do with money. When I saw the world of Mirai, I was blown away. Not just because it is deeply rooted in our ithihas, but its storytelling is deeply rooted. I got goosebumps watching the interval block. I literally stood up, wondering what was happening.”
