Ace cameraman and director Jeeva passed away in St.Petersberg, Russia while shooting for a Tamil film "Dham Dhoom" with 'Jayem' Ravi as the hero, Kangana Ranaut, Laxmi Rai and other artists. An acclaimed cinematographer-turned-director, Jeeva had worked in over 40 films starting with Malayalam films.
He was the cameraman for director Shankar's "Gentleman", "Kadhalan" and "Indian." A native of Thiruthooraipoondi, Jeeva ventured into direction with "12B" in which he introduced Sham as the hero. The film featured Jyothika and Simran. Jeeva's next film was "Ullam Ketkumae" with a cast of now-popular stars like Arya, Asin and Pooja. Jeeva followed it up with "Unnale Unnale," where he introduced a Bangalore model Vinay in the lead role. "Unnale Unnale" was a run away hit. Jeeva's death has created a vacuum in Kollywood. Dham Dhoom is progressing well and Anis the wife of Jeeva is wielding the megaphone. In order to fill up the void, she will be producing a movie with Nithin Sathya. Nitin Sathya has over a short span of time proved an actor with talent. She is very keen in making the film falling in line with her late husband. This film will be a quality romantic movie.
