One of the striking aspects of the recently released Telugu film Gaami is its visual aesthetics, with its cinematography playing a significant part. Vishwanath Reddy Chelumalla, who filmed a large part of Gaami (some portions were filmed by Rampy Nandigam), in his first-ever interview, says matter of factly that we are witnessing work that is a few years old since the film was in the making for more than seven years.
Currently, he is learning to use AI (artificial intelligence) tools, armed with the learnings from a ‘prompt engineering’ course for the image generation process. Alongside, he has begun the groundwork for his next Telugu film 8 Vasanthalu, to be directed by Phanindra Narisetti. Earlier, Vishwanath had collaborated with the director for the Telugu indie, Manu.
