A hardcore fan of Prashanth Neel and Yash’s KGF, Tirru says, “As and when I get on to OTT to watch a scene of KGF, I end up watching the whole film. I have never seen that much cinematic understanding in a long time. After Mani Ratnam, I am seeing this in Prashanth Neel.”

The ace cinematographer adds that he missed an opportunity to meet Prashanth even though they were shooting at the same place in Hyderabad. “While I was shooting for Mohanlal-Priyadarshan’s Marakkar, Prashanth was there in Hyderabad shooting for KGF. But yeah, I am looking forward to meeting him soon,” says Tirru, who believes that Kannada cinema will reach greater heights courtesy the kind of brilliant technicians coming from the industry.
