A spiritual sequel to 2014 film Jigarthanda, Karthik Subbaraj’s Jigarthanda Double X (starring Raghava Lawrence and SJ Suryah) brings together two contrasting worlds — the streets of Madurai and the forests of Kombai Sambala — and the visual storytelling adds gunpowder to Karthik’s writing. Cinematographer Tirru (a) S Thirunavukkarasu is currently in the limelight for his work on the project, one that also alleviates any comparison with the 2014 film. Excerpts from the conversation:The script of ‘Jigarthanda Double X’ is dense and a lot happens till the last frame. Usually, films like these maintain a specific visual tone throughout, but you broke that wonderfully; how did you get that conviction? These days, there’s a lot more that goes into the making and directors and cinematographers have to do a lot of homework.
