Vijay Kartik Kannan

Vijay Kartik Kannan, a name that’s been popping up more and more if you’re into Indian cinema, especially the Tamil side of things. Born and raised in Mumbai, Maharashtra—yeah, the city that never sleeps, Bollywood central, all that jazz—but Vijay’s work really took off in Kollywood. He’s not just “the guy behind the camera,” he’s the cinematographer who brought some serious style to a handful of films that shook up the scene. Take “Aadai” from 2019, for starters. This wasn’t your usual just-another-movie gig. Nah, Vijay’s camera work in that one? Gritty, raw, and, honestly, a bit wild. The film itself was a shocker, and his lens just amplified that vibe—totally in your face, making you squirm and think all at once. Then came “Doctor” in 2021, a movie that had people talking for months. He flipped the script again, giving the whole film this crisp, almost playful look, which matched the dark comedy tone like peanut butter and jelly. By 2023, “Jailer” dropped, and let’s just say, the hype was real for a reason. The visuals? Pure fire. Every frame looked like a poster you’d wanna stick on your wall. Vijay’s style is all about color, contrast, and catching the little details most folks miss. Oh, and on the personal front—he tied the knot with Yamini Yagnamurthy on March 16, 2022. So yeah, he’s not just busy shooting blockbusters, dude’s living his best life, too.
