'''Natarajan Subramanian''', better known as '''Natty''', is an [[India]]n [[cinematography|cinematographer]] who has worked on Tamil, Telugu and Hindi films. He has also worked as an actor in Tamil films and achieved recognition through his performance as a conman in ''[[Sathuranga Vettai]]'' (2014).

==Career==
Natarajan pursued an interest in photography and quit school at 18, choosing to take up a series of odd jobs to fund his interest rather than going through college. He worked as a still photographer at weddings, and then performed as a videographer at ceremonies. He briefly assisted cinematographer [[B. R. Vijayalakshmi]] but was unable to get a break in the film industry, so chose to work on documentaries instead, before venturing into work on commercials and music videos. He shot videos of the music band [[Euphoria (Indian band)|Euphoria]]'s first album, and his work was well received.<ref name="ss">{{cite web|url=http://silverscreen.in/features/interviews/shrewd-business-the-natarajan-subramaniam-interview/|title=Shrewd Business: The Natarajan Subramaniam Interview - Silverscreen.in|date=26 May 2015|website=silverscreen.in|access-date=6 August 2017}}</ref> He became acquainted with director [[Ram Gopal Varma]] and the pair discussed a film project which did not materialise, before he was recommended by Varma to [[Anurag Kashyap]], whom he worked with for three Hindi projects - ''[[Last Train to Mahakali]]'' (1999), ''[[Paanch]]'' (2003), and ''[[Black Friday (2004 film)|Black Friday]]'' (2004). In between he had also worked for Tamil romantic-comedy ''[[Youth (2002 film)|Youth]]'' (2002) starring [[Vijay (actor)|Vijay]], and had briefly agreed to be a part of [[AR Murugadoss]]'s ''[[Ramanaa (film)|Ramanaa]]'' (2001), which he later opted out from.<ref name="ss"/> Despite being active in Tamil films, he has chosen to prioritise work as a cinematographer in Hindi films, working on successful films including ''[[Jab We Met]]'' (2007), ''[[Golmaal Returns]]'' (2008), ''[[Raanjhanaa]]'' (2013) and ''[[Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty]]'' (2014).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://behindwoods.com/tamil-cinematographer/natarajan-subramaniam/an-exclusive-interview-with-cinematographer-natarajan-subramanian.html|title=An exclusive interview with cinematographer Natarajan Subramanian|website=behindwoods.com|access-date=6 August 2017}}</ref>

Away from cinematography in big-budget Hindi films, Natarajan has embarked on an alternate career as an actor in small-budget Tamil films. He initially appeared in two films by his friend [[Uday Mahesh]], ''[[Naalai]]'' (2006) and ''[[Chakkara Viyugam]]'' (2008), both of which went unnoticed at the box office but won positive acclaim for Natarajan's performances as an actor.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-fridayreview/its-buddies-animus-and-action-again-naalai/article3218534.ece|title=It's buddies, animus and action again - Naalai|website=thehindu.com|access-date=6 August 2017}}</ref> He starred in two further [[masala (film genre)|action-masala]] films aimed at the village and town audiences, ''[[Milaga]]'' (2010) and ''[[Muthukku Muthaaga]]'' (2011), which received similar lukewarm responses.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/music/news/I-love-the-action-masala-films-Natrajan/articleshow/4910692.cms|title=I love the action masala films: Natrajan - Times of India|website=indiatimes.com|access-date=6 August 2017}}</ref> In 2014, Natarajan featured in the Tamil caper film, ''[[Sathuranga Vettai]]'' directed by newcomer [[H. Vinoth|Vinoth]] and produced by [[Manobala]]. The film opened to positive reviews and became a surprise success at the box office, with a critic noting Natarajan "is brilliant as Gandhi Babu. He does his part with relish using his brains more than brawn with expressive body and eye language".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/sathuranga-vettai-review-tamil-pcmbufhibfhcd.html|title=Review |website=www.sify.com|access-date=6 August 2017}}</ref> However, his 2015 action film ''[[Katham Katham]]'' is not very impressive.<ref>https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/review-katham-katham-is-a-total-waste-of-time/20150313.htm</ref> Once again, Natty plays the good-man-turned-evil-mind, whose biggest weakness is spondulicks. His dialogue delivery is titch and screen presence, casual, on a believable act of bad cop.<ref>https://www.indiaglitz.com/katham-Katham-Review-tamil-movie-review-18399</ref> In 2017, he had three film releases including ''[[Enkitta Mothathe (2016 film)|Enkitta Mothathe]]'', ''[[Bongu (film)|Bongu]]'' and ''[[Richie (film)|Richie]]''. In [[Pandiraj]]'s ''[[Namma Veettu Pillai]]'' (2019), he has a muscular presence, perfect for a character actor.<ref>https://www.filmcompanion.in/reviews/tamil-review/namma-veettu-pillai-review-sivakarthikeyan-pandiraj-aishwarya-rajesh-anu-emmanuel/</ref> He acted in the lead role in ''[[Sandimuni]]'' (2020) and ''[[God Father (2020 film)|Godfather]]'' (2020).<ref>https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/sandimuni/movie-review/74008285.cms</ref><ref>https://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/220220/review-godfather-is-enjoyable-in-parts.html</ref> He has played a important role in [[Sibi Sathyaraj|Sibi]]'s cop drama ''[[Walter (2020 film)|Walter]]'' (2020), which was directed by U. Anbarasan. Natty experienced playing the ruthless cop Kannabiran in [[Mari Selvaraj]] in ''[[Karnan (2021 film)|Karnan]]'' (2021). The film was Natty’s second collaboration with [[Dhanush]], the first being as the cinematographer of the latter’s Hindi debut, ''[[Raanjhanaa]]''. Natty remembers being awed by the actor's talent even back then.<ref>https://www.cinemaexpress.com/stories/interviews/2021/apr/20/karnans-response-is-a-huge-validation-for-my-acting-24064.html</ref>

== Production ==
In September 2012, it was first reported that Saran had stopped working on the pre-production of ''Aal, Ambu, Senai'', a venture featuring [[Vishal (actor)|Vishal]] and chosen to work on a script titled ''Senthatti Kaalai Sevatha Kaalai'' with [[Vinay Rai|Vinay]] in the lead role.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/vinay-cuts-his-bday-cake-on-ep-sets-news-tamil-mjvjDFcgiec.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140311191812/http://www.sify.com/movies/vinay-cuts-his-bday-cake-on-ep-sets-news-tamil-mjvjDFcgiec.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2014-03-11|title=Vinay cuts his b'day cake on EP sets|work=Sify}}</ref> The film was announced to be jointly produced by Vikram Raju for Vega Entertainment and Saran who would also work on the story, screenplay and direction. [[Bharathwaj]], a regular in Saran's projects, was signed on to compose the music while three new girls called Samuthrika, [[Kadambari Jethwani]] and Shilpi Verma were signed on to play pivotal roles.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-02-21/news-interviews/37220267_1_director-saran-vinay-rai-sevatha-kaalai|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140106210844/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-02-21/news-interviews/37220267_1_director-saran-vinay-rai-sevatha-kaalai|url-status=dead|archive-date=2014-01-06|work=[[The Times of India]]|title=Director Saran is back!}}</ref>

Production began in December 2012 in Thirunelveli, and posters from a photo shoot featuring Vinay in dual roles were released later in February 2013.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/senthatti-kaalai-sevatha-kaalai-gets-ready-imagegallery-1-kollywood-ncioPxhgeaa.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130211035522/http://www.sify.com/movies/Senthatti-Kaalai-Sevatha-Kaalai-gets-ready-imagegallery-1-kollywood-ncioPxhgeaa.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2013-02-11|title=Senthatti Kaalai Sevatha Kaalai|work=Sify}}</ref> Bharadwaj noted that the film was a musical, revealing he had composed six songs of usual length plus fifteen more of about thirty seconds length for scenes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/dream-come-true/article4451850.ece|title=Dream come true|author=Nikhil Raghavan|work=The Hindu}}</ref> However the film ran into troubles in 2013 and filming was postponed for the remainder of the year.

The team re-emerged and began production again in early January 2014, with Saran announcing that he had taken over the production and that new actresses Swasthika and [[Kesha Khambhati]] were also being introduced, in place of a couple of actresses who had been revealed earlier.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.top10cinema.com/article/23620/saran-bharadwaj-combo-again|title=Saran-Bharadwaj combo again – Top10 Cinema|work=top10cinema.com}}</ref> In a press meet in August 2014, Saran announced that he had renamed two of the three female lead to avoid confusion with existing artistes. Hindi actress [[Sakshi Chaudhary]] became Samuthrika for Tamil films after impressing Saran at an audition, while [[Surabhi Santosh]] became Swasthika after Saran was impressed by a photograph. Supporting actress Rethika Srinivas, previously seen in ''[[Vazhakku Enn 18/9]]'' (2012) and ''[[Nimirndhu Nil]]'' (2014), revealed that she would play a village character pitted against the two characters played by Vinay. She also revealed that the film's title had been changed to ''Aayirathil Iruvar'' and the team subsequently shot scenes in Tirunelveli.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/cinema-columns/etcetera-comedys-loss/article5848250.ece|title=Etcetera: Comedy’s loss?|author=Nikhil Raghavan|work=The Hindu}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.deccanchronicle.com/140615/entertainment-kollywood/article/actor-vinay-does-double-act|title=Actor Vinay does a double act|work=Deccan Chronicle}}</ref> Besides Rethika, Sana and [[Kaajal Pasupathi]] were reported to play important roles.<ref name="Saran" /> After three years of delays, the film was readied for release in September 2017 with the team heavily promoting Kaajal in the promotional posters, after she had gained fame through her appearance in ''[[Bigg Boss Tamil (season 1)|Bigg Boss]]'' (2017).

== Release ==
The film's release was delayed for three years before makers readied the project for release in September 2017, following the publicity created by [[Vinay Rai|Vinay]]'s appearance in [[Mysskin]]'s crime thriller ''[[Thupparivaalan]]'' (2017).<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies-cinema-news-16/aayirathil-iruvar-to-release-on-september-22nd-2017.html|title=Aayirathil Iruvar to release on September 22nd 2017|date=2017-09-17|work=Behindwoods|access-date=2018-05-29}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/is-this-a-successful-trend-or-what/articleshow/60827530.cms|title=Is this a ‘successful’ trend, or what? - Times of India|work=The Times of India|access-date=2018-05-29}}</ref> The film had a theatrical release on 22 September 2017 on the most crowded release date of the year at the Chennai box office, releasing alongside eight other films. ''Aayirathil Iruvar'' received negative reviews, with Sudhir Srinivasan of [[The New Indian Express]] writing it was an "all-round rotten drama" and adding "''Aayirathil Iruvar'' is Tamil cinema's slap on every person who thinks film critics have an easy job”.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2017/sep/23/aayirathil-iruvar-review-an-all-round-rotten-drama-1661257.html|title=Aayirathil Iruvar review: An all-round rotten drama|work=The New Indian Express|access-date=2018-05-29}}</ref> A critic from Indiaglitz.com wrote "it is hard to believe that Saran has directed this mess" and that Vinay should "hope to forget this film in a hurry".<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/aayirathil-iruvar-tamil-movie-review-18943|title=Aayirathil Iruvar review.
