We wanted to show the jungle truthfully: Rakesh Haridas on Vidya Balan-starrer ‘Sherni’
The Hindu
The crew tried to be as non-intrusive as possible while shooting ‘Sherni’ in the forests of Balaghat, says cinematographer Rakesh Haridas
The forest is where the plot originates. It is where the action takes place. It is, in fact, the backbone of the story. Yet, the forest in Sherni does not impose. It blends seamlessly into the narrative, setting the context. Shooting Sherni in Balaghat in Madhya Pradesh was a truly liberating experience for its director of photography, Rakesh Haridas. “We wanted to show the jungle as realistically as possible,” he says, over phone from Mumbai. Rakesh brings the forest alive through a clever manipulation of natural light and shade. “We planned the shots in such a way that we could make full use of daylight. It is easier to get the message of conservation across if you are able to convince people about the beauty of the forest,” he adds.More Related News
