Manoj Paramahamsa in 3 Idiots remakes

Manoj Paramahamsa’s brilliant camerawork in Eeram and Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (VTV) has redefined the meaning of camera work in Tamil cinema. Now the hotshot cinematographer is currently busy with Gautham Menon's quickie Nadunisi Naaygal.�The latest buzz is that director Shankar has roped in Manoj for the Tamil and�Telugu remakes of Bollywood blockbuster 3 Idiots.

"Shankar sir knows me right from my Eeram days. He was very happy with my work for Eeram. Initially, I was apprehensive to take on this project because of my commitment to Gautham sir. At a time when he could have signed up any top cinematographer, he chose to give me a break, that too trusting the words of one of his associates. So I really did not want to upset him or his film in anyway. But he understood my position and magnanimously let me work for 3 Idiots," Manoj confirmed.

"What makes me really happy about this project is the fact that it will be over in six to eight months as the film is being planned as a summer release. The shoot will most probably begin by late October or early November," he added.
