Talking about the film in which he worked as the DOP, Ateet Singh said, “I always wanted to do a feature film that speaks volume; just then the film Tara and Akash: Love Beyond Realms happened to me. It is a beautiful fairy tale-like journey that teaches you about life and beyond.”
The film is directed by Srinivas Abrol, starring beauty pageant winners Jitesh Thakur and Alankrita Bora as protagonist. The film is also featuring – Deepti Naval, Amol Palekar, and Brijendra Kala, among others.
Talking about how as a cinematographer he translated the story visually, Ateet said, “Since the film’s story is primarily about a book, I wanted the audience to have a dreamlike visual experience almost as if they are reading a book themselves, yet kept it higher on the contrast to maintain a certain cinematic perspective.”
Ateet also worked on some of the interesting music videos for famous artists like Divine, Badshah, etc. He shot films like Khuda Haafiz and Collar Bomb as a second unit DOP and action cinematographer.
