VIJAY KARTIK KANNAN
Vijay Kartik Kannan is one of pan-Asian cinema’s most exciting visual storytellers — an Indian cinematographer more interested in questioning conventions than following them, working across features, advertising, music videos, and documentaries. His credits include Aadai, Doctor, Daaku Maharaaj, and Jailer, one of Tamil cinema’s highest-grossing films at over $70M worldwide, alongside the music video Aasa Kooda and Aabhi Jaa, which helped pioneer 4K production in India back in 2014. In 2025, ARRI selected him to write and direct an official showcase film for its Ensō Prime lenses. Vijay shapes his imagery for the communal, larger-than-life spirit of Indian cinema, bringing it to audiences worldwide.
